Not Looking Forward to This Year's Presidential Election
Us News

When I was in high school, I learned a lot about politics in my AP Government class taught by Ms. O'Connor at Lake Taylor High School. I never really cared about politics until after I had her as a teacher. We learned that millennials are the least likely to vote and because of her more and more of have chosen to vote but this year's election is ridiculous. The options we are left with are horrible. I mean Hillary Clinton is not that bad but Trump? Oh. My. Gosh. I've never in my life seen someone who is so full of their-self. He has made so many different racist remarks regarding women, African Americans and people with disability. He was even seen in public, publicly mocking a disabled person. Also during these past two presidential debates as the people were asking questions all Trump and Clinton did not answer any questions. All they did was blame each other for mistakes. But also they never answered the important questions that we wanted to know. They just kept avoiding the questions and answering with gibberish. Why did Trump never pay taxes? We all pay taxes. Even Clinton pays taxes. What makes Trump so special that he does not have to pay taxes? Then during the second debate, Trump was basically calling America stupid because apparently we don't know how to deal with the wars our troops are fighting everyday, risking their lives to keep us all alive and that just is not right. Not to mention that grotesque comment Trump made a while ago about how he can do anything he wants to women because he is a star. That is really messed up. Just because you're a man doesn't give you the right to just think that you can do anything that you want to women. That's what is wrong with our generation and culture today. They think that they can get away with anything and it's people like Trump who are setting this bad example. People need to see and realize that this is promoting rape culture.

Then also Clinton. Our senator. She kept avoiding that question about her emails. Why was she keeping two email accounts? She could have been leaking private governmental information. We don't know what could have been in those emails. All I am saying that we wish had better presidential candidates to vote for this year to vote for.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
