3 Important Things To Remember After This Presidential Election

For some/most of us, we did not like the way the Presidential election happened. The person who won the Presidential election has no political experience and is basically a celebrity. We are losing an extraordinary and great President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The U.S. House of Representatives will consist mostly of Republicans than Democrats again.

With all of these things happening and more, it seems change will never come.

You may have voted for other things that were on the ballot and it may not have turn out the way you wanted to, but you still have the ability to change that.

Here are three important things to remember after this presidential election:

1. Voting Matters

I have heard various people say that "Voting does not matter." That statement itself is blasphemous and is not true. You can not expect change by voting in the Presidential election and not vote in your local and state elections Voting is a process and therefore requires you to be at all elections because state representatives and senators play a crucial role in our government and laws they pass.

2. Be the change you want to be

I think a lot of times we say that we want change but do not want to do what it takes to achieve it. To become the change that you vision, it begins with you. You have to be able to do the right thing (even if that means being the bigger person) and realize you are human. Be accountable for your actions but influence others through your actions.

3. Help, Listen and LOVE each other.

While it may tough to hold people accountable, you can help others and also learn from them. Love is one of the greatest and best things you can ever do. You do not have to agree with everybody or like their opinions and actions. Instead, you can be respectful to them and show love to them. By showing love to everybody, we can be able to move forward and become better people.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
