Why I'm Ready For The Presidential Election To Be Over
Presidential Election 2016

For many of us, November 8th cannot come fast enough. Our living rooms, cars, offices and restaurants have been saturated with media coverage of the 2016 Presidential Election since the beginning of the summer. As we slowly crawl to the finish line, I can't help but wish our election campaign was as speedy as Canada, whose presidential campaign lasts an average of 45 days. Here are a couple reasons why I'm ready for normalcy in the media:

1. So Twitter users can stop live tweeting debates and obnoxious memes.

I'm definitely an advocate for speaking your opinion, but my news feed cannot handle any more tweets about Hillary's excessive coughing or Trump's facial expressions.


2. So Snapchat users can stop putting filters on the candidates during debates.

Because watching 20 Snapchat stories of the dog filter on Trump is a bit repetitious and unnecessary.


3. So I can stop seeing the over-exaggerated campaign commercials bashing the other candidate.

I'm all for a healthy competition, but this just takes it too far. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather watch a Viagra commercial.

4. So those distant relatives can stop posting excessively long and opinionated statuses on Facebook.

You always knew your uncle was headstrong, but after seeing his bursts of outrage on Facebook, you know he's officially let the campaign get him a little too riled up.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
