The Election Is Here
Quartz

Finally, the time we have all been waiting for or not waiting for. As the nation has come together to watch debates, rallies, and different news channels, there has been controversy and drama stirred up between both political parties. Social media has been taken over by the many expressed opinions and views by people and debates have even taken place amongst people.

Like other elections, people declare the side they are for and stand by it. It is time to come together and watch as the new President will be announced. As the nerves build up, nails are being bitten, and anxiety levels are shooting out the roof, the countdown begins. Once the new President is elected, people will either show their happiness and loyalty to that candidate or people will express their anger and come up with all the reasons as to why their candidate should have won. Although the drama will continue, Facebook might go back to normal soon, people might become friends again, bets will be won or lost, and America will have to adapt to the change of the new President. This is not an article to share who I am voting for or not voting for, much less to say that I hope we are all prepared for what is about to take place. I do, however, hope everyone is voting and are contributing to what they believe is right. It’s known that everyone thinks differently, although some may agree with one another, but the wait is over and the election is here. Happy election week everyone!

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
