Tuesday is Election Day and while I do care about the outcome and the future of our country very much, I did not want to write a political article or discuss my political views. So instead, here are 5 things I would much rather do than watch Tuesday's election.

1. Binge-watch "The Walking Dead"

"The Walking Dead" became one of my favorite shows two years ago. The suspense, the character development, the special effects...this show is one in which you can easily watch an entire season in just a few days.

2. Refresh my mind


Go for a long, relaxing walk away from any media or billboards, like in the Boston commons and Beacon Hill to forget about all the anxiety the election is causing. Seeing the last of the foliage will make you happy and forget about politics.

3. Cook myself something special


Find a yummy, simple recipe of something you love or have always wanted to try and spend the afternoon taking your time, listening to some relaxing music, and filling your home with the smells of something new and delicious.

4. Celebrate National Pancake Day


November 8th is not only Election Day, but it's also National Pancake Day. I don't know about you, but I would much rather celebrate pancakes than celebrate the election.

5. Write the next biggest hit

Inspiration comes in waves for me, and watching the election, sitting on the edge of my seat, for hours will take up valuable time where instead I could be writing and being creative. So I would much rather sit at my piano and let lyrics and music flow out of me than sit in front of the television all night waiting to hear the results of the election.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
