This election was, to say the least, a crazy one. The results shocked many across the country.

One shocking piece of information that came out post-election was the picture of what the results would be if only millennials had voted:

A bit different, see? So it got me thinking. What are the millennials thinking now?

I asked 100 students on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, what they thought of the results of the election. With a twist: I asked them to express their feelings in an emoji.

Here are the results.

11. 2/100

"Like, I know what it is, but it still creeps me out. I want nothing to do with it."

10. 3/100

"I think it's something we need to think about as a group. Everyone right now is thinking for themselves and making rash decisions. We need to pull together and think for the good of America, you know?"

9. 3/100

"What has America come to?"

8. 6/100

"I'm scared. I'm scared for my family, my friends, and myself."

"I don't know how we got here. This election just seems like a nightmare come true. No one really expected Trump to win."

7. 7/100

"I don't know how we got here, but we have to deal with it now."

"I feel like that Everything Is Fine dog."

6. 8/100

"I'm trying to be strong, but I'm finding it so hard not to break down."

5. 9/100

"I can't stop crying. I don't know how we're going to get past this."

4. 9/100

"I feel like this just kind of explains itself. Everything has gone to s***."

3. 12/100


"I'm just disappointed in America."

"I'm really sad that the country has come to this."

2. 14/100

"Yeah, I'm pissed. He's unfair to every social group in America, except for what he belongs to. Rich white males."

1. 15/100

"I've seen more middle fingers this week than I have in my entire life."

"FDT."

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.

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.
