Please Take Your Politics off my Newsfeed

In all honesty, I don't care who you're voting for

Please Take Your Politics off my Newsfeed
San Clemente Patch

It's not that I don't think everyone has a right to opinion. I just don't give two sh*ts what your opinion is.

I always hate when politics invade my Newsfeed. This year seems worse than ever. Every time I get on any social media all I seem to see is an article, post, or picture of something related to the election. At this point, most people have made up their mind quite decisively as to who they are voting for. You can name call and pitch as many fits and rants as you want, but here is the thing it isn't going to change anything.

I am one of those people who knows who I will be voting for come November. I came to that decision on my own and am not sharing. Here is the thing, my choice and vote are my opinion. I don't feel the need to throw my thoughts in your face. Instead I stick with the motto: "Good for you; not for me". You decision is your decision. Politics and many other hot-button topics are all about ideology. Ideology by definition is things that are close to your heart that are unlikely to change. So stop changing to change mine.

Sharing articles can be an important part of social media, and I don't think their is anything wrong with sharing your voice. Don't get mad at me though if I unfollow or unfriend you because you got on my last nerve by preaching your beliefs. Beliefs and passion are importnat in this world but is Facebook really the best place for that.

Facebook to me isn't about changing this life-changing or earth-shattering writing pieces. It's more about goofy listicles and cute puppy videos. So with that let's keep Facebook fun!

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.
