Election 2016 As Told by "Portlandia" GIFs
rollingstone.com

We are officially into Election 2016. We've had the whirlwind of the Iowa caucuses, the entertaining Republican debates, the boring Democratic debates, the countless Trump memes, the "SNL" skits, and the constant shade every candidate has been throwing at another. Now I enjoy this craziness, it's like a reality show that you get to engage in, but sometimes it just gets too insane for me to take seriously anymore. Another thing that I enjoy, but can't take seriously, is "Portlandia." Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are back at it with their sixth season and, like Election 2016, I am living for it. So I decided to mash them together and describe the feelings I've had thus far for Election 2016 using Portlandia GIFs. Enjoy!

1. When Bernie Sanders starts talking about the crazy debt college students have.

2. When Hillary Clinton said, "May the force be with you," at the end of the debate.

3. When John Kasich talks with his hands the whole time.

4. When I watched the Republican debate.

5. When I watched the Democratic debate and there was no fighting.

6. When I talk to an uniformed citizen.

7. Whenever Trump said something sexist, racist, or really when he said anything.

8. When Ben Carson would talk at a debate.

9. When Hillary Clinton tries to be down with the millennials on social media.

10. Whenever Martin O'Malley had to go up against Sanders and Clinton.

11. When I realized Trump's candidacy wasn't a joke anymore.

12. When Sarah Palin gave her endorsement to Trump.

13. When someone tries to explain Iowa caucuses.

14. When I saw that Bernie lost Iowa.

15. When Trump was a sore loser in Iowa and demanded a recount.

16. When I'm already over it and we haven't even gotten into the thick of things.

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!

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.
