Red, White & Screwed

Election Day is approaching. How are you going to prepare?

Election day is approaching, which means one thing, my fellow American's: get your passports ready. I don't want to say we are screwed with whoever gets elected but... We are screwed. You're either a republican, redneck, upper-class gun-supporter who doesn't know much about politics or an annoyingly super feminist, democrat and you believe that the email leaks were an "accident" type of person. Both candidates should stick to their day job and not try to run this country, but since one will soon be moving into the White House, here are the next steps we should take.


1. Get a passport

Canada, here we come! Let's face it, the future of America is now one big giant wild card. It's better to be safe than sorry.


2. Doing last minute research on each candidate.

Sure, since the debates were so informative and professional all our questions were probably answered, but just in case seeing Trump and Clinton bicker like two divorced parents wasn't enough, it's probably a good idea to do some research on your own.


3. Drink.

Drinking is never the answer, but it can solve a temporary fix of emotions that our nation is going downhill fast.


4. Cry.

For many college students, this is the first election we can vote in. We are basically picking our poison for the next four years.


5. Remember impeachment is a thing.

There is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Though it's unlikely, we must remember there's a chance that our next president can be impeached.


6. Smile through the pain.

At this point, there is nothing we can do. We chose these people, and now we must live with the consequences no matter how much it hurts.


There you have it: the next steps one should take in order to get through the 2016 election. Happy voting! I'll see you all in Canada.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
