The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

Even though the Democratic National Convention kicked off Monday night with the theme United Together, the Democratic party is anything but united. It would be a step in the right direction if the unifying rhetoric could be backed with action, which has not been the case the in the last eight years despite what any speaker at the DNC said. While watching the Democratic National Convention I couldn't help but think about different witty "Office" moments that too accurately described how I felt.

1. The Democratic National Convention began with the resignation of their national committee chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, after 19,000 of the committee’s e-mails were published by WikiLeaks.

2. You are probably wondering how Debbie Wasserman Shultz and Hillary Clinton have gotten away with their email scandals but remember that they are above the law.

3. I can only imagine how upset the "Feel The Bern Revolution" must be after Bernie Sanders sells out and tells his base to vote for Hillary.


4. When Bernie Sanders delegates and supporters leave the Convention floor early.

5. When Tim Kaine officially accepts the nomination for Vice President with the most boring speech.

6. And then you hear him attack Donald J. Trump and the Republican Platform.


7. It wasn't long before Bill Clinton attempted to steal the show with the story of how he met Hillary.


8. When just about every DNC speech mentions the angry rhetoric at the RNC.

9. When the Governor of Minnesota, Mark Dayton, says that Trump is a bad man because he made small businesses pay their bills when they couldn't afford it.

10. When you see groups like Turning Point USA protesting with signs that say Big Government Sucks!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
