On Tuesday, the whole world is going to be like Johnny Bravo. There will be millions of different voters from all corners of the U.S., but there is only one type of important voter: you. Election Day is upon us and it is our duty to vote. Whether you're favoring a candidate based on who you think will destroy the country less, who is a more decent human being, or even who is cuter, it doesn't matter; all that counts is that you vote. According to the Pew Research Center, the millennial population matches the Baby Boomers as the largest generation in the U.S. electorate. This means that the majority of voters are people ages 18-35. The question is: will they vote?

Because millennials grew up with arguably the best cartoon shows on television ever, I have gathered some of our favorite childhood friends to help me explain why you need to vote.

Before you vote, it's important not to let the media dictate what you think. Your Facebook friends, the news, social media: they're all biased. This is a really great article that breaks down bias in the news. Watch the debates and read trustworthy news pieces to form your own opinion. If you let the media overwhelm you like Deedee overwhelms Dexter...

...you may end up like Rocko and his friends.

Voting isn't lame. Voting isn't stupid. However, it is anonymous. You don't have to tell anyone who you voted for if you don't want to. You don't even have to tell anyone you voted if that's what you're afraid of. Just go do it! Don't worry about your friends who think it's not important or uncool.

We all need to be a part of this process, not just millennials. The citizens of the U.S. may have more power to change the state of affairs more than the actual President, but that change can't start properly if we don't all vote. This isn't about voting for the better candidate, it's about getting your vote out there, because every say counts, every voice matters. We all need to be a part of something as organized and powerful like

The election is majorly centered around the debate, "Which candidate is better?" While that's fair because the country should decide as a democracy who is better suited and qualified to run our country for four plus years, but where will we end up if we act like Beavis and Butthead? Probably on the floor drooling over ourselves and each other.

So if you need to get dolled up...

...or you need to smack yourself around a little bit...

...and whether you're voting for...

...or you're voting for...

...just get out there and vote! If you don't vote, we may all end up like Chuckie...

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
