7 Things I'll Be Doing On Election Night
youtube.com

No matter what your party preference is, you have to admit that this year's election is definitely going down in history for many reasons. It has surely been the most "entertaining" election year, between the political campaigns, the drama, and the fights. It also has some very controversial and interesting candidates that have caused many people to ponder and worry about the future of our country no matter who gets elected. I, along with a good majority of America (I'm guessing), am ready for this election to just be over with already. So, this is how I will be spending my election night. Who's with me?

(Note: most of this article is satirical)

1. Drinking a bottle of wine

And if you're not a wine kind of person, grab your own drink of choice. You're going to need it on election night. I know I will!

2. Wearing black

I will be mourning the loss of our country's sanity by wearing black that night. RIP America. Just kidding...kind of.

3. Celebrating the end of political ads

I might be mourning the loss of sanity in our country, but I'll also be celebrating the fact that political ads will finally be off my screen. I think everyone can join together, no matter what party each of us might be affiliated with, in celebrating that blessing. Finally ads about potato chips and kitchen appliances will be back on TV.

4. Probably crying a bit

Still not sure if they will be happy tears, sad tears, or angry tears, but crying will probably happen. To be fair, it'll probably mainly be happy tears at the fact that this election is finally over and I won't have to see another political ad.

5. Googling the best countries to live in

Because after this election, it might be a good idea to just give America a break and get out while you can. Maybe I'll do a little traveling and experience another culture for a bit. I'll preferably find one that isn't going through a chaotic government change as well, so I guess the UK is out of the mix because of Brexit. Darn. Canada has always seemed like a happy country....

6. Starting to pack my things

I'll just start packing on election night as well. Get that done early so I'm ready to go whenever the new president is announced and people start going crazy. The faster I can save myself from the chaos the better.

7. Searching for a flight

Need to get a head start on this as well. I'm sure I won't be the only one ready to flee the country, so I'll need to book my flight early before they sell out. Just thinking ahead on this one. Peace out America; see you in four years when you (hopefully) learn how to pick better candidates.

In all seriousness, this election was just a roller coaster of emotions and, for lack of better word, a bit of a s*** show, but it is still important to get your voice out there, express your right as an American, and vote on November 8.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
