According to For the Win by USA Today the Alabama-LSU game is more than just a college football game. On election years, since 1984, the winner of the game predicts the outcome of the presidential election. If LSU wins, then a Republican will be in the White House and if Alabama wins, then a Democrat will be President.

1984: LSU 16 - Alabama 14, Ronald Reagan (R)

1988: LSU 19 - Alabama 18, George H.W. Bush (R)

1992: Alabama 31 - LSU 11, Bill Clinton (D)

1996: Alabama 26 - LSU 0, Bill Clinton (D)

2000: LSU 30 - Alabama 28, George W. Bush (R)

2004: LSU 26 - Alabama 10, George W. Bush (R)

2008: Alabama 27 - LSU 21, Barack Obama (D)

2012: Alabama 21 - LSU 17, Barack Obama (D)

This trend is very interesting because Alabama has gone red in every single election the game has decided even the years that Democrats won. LSU has also gone red every year except for 1992 and 1996. This year Alabama won, 10-0, over LSU. So, will Hillary Clinton win the presidency? Or will Donald Trump win, throwing off the 32-year trend? Go out and vote and we shall see.

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?
