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

Is it November 8th yet?

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
