This year thousands of young Americans, including myself, will vote for the first time in this year's 2016 Presidential Election, and this year thousands of Americans have come to look at the presidential race as a joke, rightfully so.

From the routine accusations and arguments about Hillary and the emails to the two to three ridiculous comments made by Trump, anything and everything in this election has turned into a viral icon on social media and none of us really know whether to laugh or cry in accepting the fact that we are accountable in voting in an election that more people are looking forward to vote just to get it over with rather than actually voting with a purpose.

Can't wait to not have to see a single commercial, debate, meme, tweet and everything election related after Tuesday? Here are 22 things less painful than this election:

1. Stepping on a Lego

2. Having to watch the full two minute advertisement before watching a video online

3. Hitting your side on a counter top corner

4. Getting a charley horse while driving

5. Only having 3G for hours

6. Being at the hospital and having a new nurse screw up putting in your IV 3-plus times

7. Getting a charley horse while sleeping

8. Being a Browns fan

9. Pouring Hydrogen Peroxide on an open wound

10. Hitting your funny bone

11. Listening to "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" by Tiny Tim (the "Insidious" theme song) on repeat

12. Putting in a piece of 5 winter mint gum and then drinking a cup of cold ice water

13. Watching the Warriors blow a 3-1 lead as a Golden State fan

14. Watching the Indians blow a 3-1 lead as a Cleveland fan

15. Wearing two left shoes that are also two sizes too small

16. Getting into a political argument with a die-hard Trump supporter

17. Getting into a political argument with a die-hard Hillary supporter

18. Getting a Charley Horse in general


19. Burning your knuckles on the roof of your toaster oven while checking to see if your food is done

20. Having to keep your pants buttoned while you have a food baby

21. Slamming your hand in a car door

22. Checking your bank account after a night out

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
