Dear America,

In just a matter of a few short days, either history will be made, or the apocalypse will be upon us. Our long, national nightmare will finally be over. With the polls tighter than ever before during this campaign, the future of our country is dependent on our decision and action to get out and make a difference.

All the scandals, late-night talk show bits, Saturday Night Live parodies, outrage over what "he" said, and so-on will be toned down at least. Still, after listening to what both candidates and the media have been feeding us, it is clear that this election truly matters. Our vote can be a decision as important as what we want to do for a living, who we will marry, where we will go to college, what house we should buy, and etc. It really is a big deal.

But what happens when this whole election process is finally over? What comes next? Yes, I know, the inauguration in January, but it seems so scary if things don't turn out the way we hoped. We must embrace ourselves for a whole new era of American politics in the late 2010s, something totally different from the last 8 years.

I assume everyone is anxious and ready to get this election over with. I know I am. On November 8th, we pray and embrace. On November 9th, we will wake up and realize that we are about to live in a whole new America. The "New. S. A." as I should call it. This election is one of the most important in our lifetime, and I hope that we are all ready for the day it is all over.

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.
