It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Thank God it's coming to an end.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
The New York Times

I need to say something important, I really need to.

THANK GOD THE ELECTION IS ALMOST OVER!

I know I am not the only person who feels this way. It's like nowhere is safe from the political b.s. of the election.

I did however learn a lot during this time. Like, I have a lot more patience than I honestly believed. Also I learned that people really just love to be rude and push their opinions on others.

It's like we have entered some parallel universe where instead of living in a country where everyone is free and equal, we are being told to all be the same person and hate on someone who is different from us.

How is it that we have come so far but then fallen back so hard?

On one hand, we have a candidate who degrades women, bad mouths anybody who is not white, and has claimed bankruptcy more times than he has called his opponant a "Nasty Woman".

Then, we have another candidate who has lied more than a rug, and lost the trust of thousands. A candidate who flips, and flops more than the rubber shoes on my feet.

And third party voting? Why bother with that at all?

It's a no win situation. Or is it?

Haha just kidding.

No matter who wins, a majority of the country is going to be upset.

So, go out and vote. Why? Because no matter what there is no happy ending, but you might as well try to choose your own destiny and see where it takes the country.

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?

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?
