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.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
