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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
