Everyone knows how important this upcoming general election is. This election decides if we go down the toilet or get thrown in the dumpster as a nation. There is really no good choice (in my humble opinion). Even though we know that there are no great choices left the candidates are doing everything they can to convince you otherwise. One way they do this is through their online stores. Because not only do they want your vote, but they also want you to let everyone at school or work know too, and get you into endless political argument with the guy on campus who believes that Ted Cruz is the messiah or the girl who only likes Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. Now in my research to see which candidate I will be voting for in November, I saw some interesting, or not so interesting things in their stores. I think it says a lot about the candidates too.

With that being said I have given out some awards and superlatives to the best and worst items I have seen.

1. Least Likely to be Purchased

I don't even know why they have this shirt on the store. If there are any Democrats in Alabama they are Bernie supporters.

2. Best Jab at Trump

Very fitting for the billionaire baby....

3. Bernie's Most Clever Item

I see what you did there Mr Sanders, but I'm "totes" not voting for you.

4. Ugliest Christmas Sweater

Looks like his administration would if he won. It could be uglier though...

5. Zero Cares Given

The guy is a billionaire! You would think the guy could spend some money on marketing.

Bernie was a close second...

6. The "We Get It, You're a Conservative" Award

You can't really get anywhere with that driving philosophy...

7. Overly Inclusive

I think she forgot babies, criminals, and mermaids.

8. Least Likely to Be On a Future Economist

I mean the baby could be a psychology major like me.

9. Trump's Flashy Shirt

Astounding.

9. Most likely to be a purchase for your dad's Mid-Life Crisis

10. Most likely to be a Myth

Like Bigfoot and unicorns, John Kasich shirts exist only in internet pictures and on television.

11. Honorable Mentions

If only they had stayed...

I couldn't possibly fit all their shirts, foam fingers, and throw pillows (yes I said throw pillows) in this article. I don't know who your favorite candidate is, but maybe this article helped inspire you to buy a T-shirt you will only wear once.

5 Benefits Of Learning Different Languages

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

learning different languages

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
