Some Good News For Your Post-Election Blues
koolwallpapers.com

I don't care where your loyalties lie, this election season was brutal, and the after effects of this election has left most of the country emotionally and physically exhausted. From the countless scandals, the claims to sexual assault, and for the love of all every god that has, does and will exist if I hear the word e-mail one more time....

Regardless, can we all just come to the consensus that this election just sucked? Neither side really supported their candidate and it became a matter of "voting your conscience" - whatever that may mean to you.

I'm not trying to change any opinions. No amount of arguing and yelling will. The only thing we can do is agree on some common ground - which I will present to you in the most fun way possible.

Let's try and stay positive!

Huffington Post shared an article of dogs with "I voted" stickers on them

That dog is safeguarding life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

And hundreds of people waited hours to put those on Susan B. Anthony's gravestone thanking her for her fight for women's suffrage


And you know what? While we're at it, all baby animals are still cute


And the amount of women of color in senate quadrupled


And lest we forget that a "That's So Raven" reboot/sequel is in the making


The Griswolds (in conjunction with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon) released their album two days early on SoundCloud

And all this Griswolds talk is reminding me of Christmas... which is pretty soon


Which means Victoria's Secret already released their Christmas-themed panties


And you know what? Hanukkah is even sooner than Christmas

Stefan makes it seem like the Menorah won't be the only thing that's lit.


And Thanksgiving is even sooner

And is there, like, anything some pumpkin pie can't fix?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
