Election Night As Told By Parks & Rec

Election night happened las week and now people are left feeling a lot of emotions all at once. This was a really important election, and no matter which way it went, people would have been upset. Now Donald Trump is our President Elect and that has left a large portion of the population, including me, looking back at election night and wondering what happened.

1. When it looked like Hillary was winning the electoral college at first.

2. And then Trump started gaining more votes.

3. So you prepare yourself to stay up all night to see who really wins.

4. And you tell yourself not to freak out because there isn't a final answer yet.

5. You catch yourself wishing you could go back to when you were younger and knew nothing about politics.

6. Then you remember this is an important election and you're happy to have been a part of it, even though it isn't looking good.

7. You wonder how so many people could support Trump and want him as the president.

8. You wonder if maybe this is all a dream.

9. The votes keep coming in and Trump keeps getting more votes from the electoral college.

10. He gets the 270 necessary votes to win.

11. And you text all of your friends, asking them what to do now. What comes next?

But you tell yourself, that no matter what everything is going to be okay. The sun will still shine, puppies will still be cute, and love will always trump hate.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
