Happy Election Week Everyone

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.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

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!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
