Massachusetts, Thank You For Early Voting

The option is there, go vote!

Massachusetts, Thank You For Early Voting
Wikipedia.com

This time of year, for most of us during the election, is honestly the most stressful. Not only do we have three holidays stacked against us, we also have to worry about getting things in order to go vote for the next president of the United States. In years previous, Massachusetts residents did not have the option to vote early. Now, in 2016, we already have had 250,000 people cast their ballots early and it is honestly incredible.

This is a pretty big deal for us because now everyone can relieve some stress and go vote before election day, November 8th, and avoid the hassle of possible long lines, long waits, and frustration all around. I know that come Wednesday, November 2, which is two days before the last day of early voting, Friday, November 4, I, along with my sister, are going to be voting. I'm excited, and honestly proud because this is the first time my sister is going to be voting. It only took an angry Cheez-It to persuade her.

I wanted to take the time to interrupt my current series on exploring unusual sexual fantasies for just one week to give a special thanks to my home state. Thank you, Massachusetts, not only for early voting, but for many other things as well. I love this place and, even though there has been some evidence of subtle racism, or in your face racism, and bigotry, I love it here.

Other than just saying thank you for providing us with this opportunity to hit the polls early, I want to also leave on this note: if you can, go vote. Go and vote. I cannot emphasize this enough. Just go vote. The option is there, conveniently placed so you can just go down to a town hall or other designated areas to voice your opinion via ballot.

This may be a short article, but I wanted to be able to leave you with important info regarding early voting. Clicking here will redirect you to a helpful tool found on Google. You can find out where you need to go to vote early, the times you can do so, and when this option will be available. It also provides more helpful information on voting and the ballot. Happy voting!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
