I don't think anyone understands the definition of annoying until you talk to me about politics. I love politics. Big emphasis on love. I live, breathe, and dream politics. It's hard to miss the fact that I am a political science major when I annoyingly bring up politics every 60 seconds.

So here are ten things all political science majors know to be true;

10 Things About Finals Week

15 Common Struggles Of A Loyola Student

15 Common Struggles Of A Loyola Student

1. You counted down the days until your 18th birthday.

Low-key registering to vote was probably the highlight of my life after 18 years of waiting.

2. You live for political debates.

Who doesn't love a good Friday night debate? Debate night and chill, anyone?

3. Just thinking about this upcoming presidential election makes you cringe.


*Chews Nails*

4. When your friends tell you they aren't voting you get really butt-hurt about it.

If you don't vote, I will most likely have to quit the friendship, because real friends vote during election season.

5. When the presidential campaign makes a stop at your school, IT'S A BIG DEAL!

6. Reading a Supreme Court decision for your American Constitutional Law class is the literal death of you.

*Internally screaming*

7.When it hits you that you have to take POLS Empirical Research to get your degree.

RIP to me. Please pray.

8. When people tell you political science isn't a real science.

Talk to the hand hater, your opinion is irrelevant.

9. You are known to have *accidentally* started beef with other family members because you can never keep your mouth shut when it comes to politics.

If only you had kept your mouth shut...oh well...

10. Although, we may be hard to handle and love to know everything about politics, and most likely will ALWAYS correct you, we promise we are still a sweetheart inside.

Well, I can't promise I'm a sweetheart all the time, but I'm definitely nicer than Donald.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
