11 Ways You Have To Prepare For Election Day
WTAX

Whether or not you're ready, the day you've been awaiting is finally (almost) here. Here are a few ways you can prepare for this inevitable day.

1.Register to vote.

Well, actually, if you haven't already done this, its kind of too late. Just wait until the next election (congrats, you're off the hook).


2. Get to know the candidates.

Turn on pretty much any news media network. Or open your laptop. Or just sit on your phone. Everything is out there. At this point, you would've have to have lived under a rock not to know these two...primates.

3. Practice punching holes in paper to avoid hanging chads.

We don't want a repeat of the 2000 Election. What's that? We don't use paper anymore? Oh, well just in case.

4. Choose your perfect patriotic outfit.

If nothing else, you can look great, right?

5. Get a good night's sleep on Monday.

This will leave you well rested for your drive to the polls and perhaps you'll dream of who to vote for.

6. Bring a snack with you to your voting precinct.

Not totally sure if its allowed or not, but it will keep you from getting hangry while waiting in potentially very long lines.

7. Go hide.

Honestly, you never know what will happen this election day, so it's best to stay out of the fray.

8. But first, go buy yourself a bottle of wine, or two....or three.

You'll more than likely need it while you're watching the results coming in.

9. Make sure your TV works.

You're not going to want to miss the madness that is sure to ensue.

10. Book a flight to a foreign country or learn to fly a plane yourself.

Ya know, just in case.

11. Honestly, just pray at this point.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
