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!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
