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."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
