Why Everyone In The 2016 Presidential Race Looks Like A Duck Or A Turtle
Meaghan Annett

The presidential race for this November is heating up. With all of the debates happening on TV and news articles about the candidates, it can be hard to tell who to vote for. You can look on their website and read their policy positions, but at the end of the day, it's hard to tell who is telling you the truth.

The media always likes to categorize politics in terms of conflicting groups. Are you voting for a Democrat or a Republican? A conservative or a progressive? A Washington outsider or a Washington insider?

However, all these news sites are missing the point. The real question is are you voting for a duck or a turtle?

All people look like ducks or turtles

When I was a younger, I heard commentators on the radio talk about how all people look like ducks or turtles. If you are with a group of people right now, look at their faces and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's a fact of life.

Is a duck or turtle better?

That is really up to you to decide. Here is a definitive list of the presidential candidates still in the race to help you make that tough decision.


1. Hillary Clinton

Gotcha catch all the votes!


2. Donald Trump

He tries to tell us he's not a quack...


3. Bernie Sanders

Potentially coming in 2016, "Franklin Goes to the White House"


4. Ted Cruz

Sea turtle is not amused.


5. Marco Rubio

Aka master of the duck face


6. John Kasich

Slow and steady wins the race, right?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
