The 2016 Election As Told By The Peanuts

It's time to take all the seriousness down a notch and add some innocent fun to the elections now that they are over.

The 2016 Election As Told By The Peanuts
When Nerds Collide

The outcome of this election is something people joked about when the two candidates both stated they would be running. Now that the joke has become a reality, we as a nation have to stand by the choices that were made. We look to good ol' Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang to relate to the election and its outcome.

After this election, there's not enough nickels in the United States to give Lucy Van Pelt for help.

The united States is with you on that, Charlie Brown.

The amount of arguing and hatred that has happened in the past 24 hours is just incredible.

You can say that again.

Just when we all thought we all had a handle on making the US better....

We're all feeling like Charlie Brown right now while the government smiles on like Lucy.


Listening to all the promises and "I will...." speeches the candidates were making.

We can all relate to Sally Brown right now.

Having that one friend who doesn't pay any attention to politics leaving you the one who has paid attention.


Calling for the Great Pumpkin because he'd be a better president than the two candidates who ran.

Thanks for starting the campaign, Linus.

After the results came out and the new President was named.

I guarantee people are still like this right now.

This is Trump's family and political team today.

Schroeder even looks like Trump playing on the piano

Now that the elections are over, it's time we all get ready to enjoy the holidays and stand as a united nation.

Who better to lead us than the Red Baron himself in this en devour of unity


We are a strong nation when we are united. Now is the time to stand strong and come together to live in a new nation for the next four years with the new president. This nation has faced worse enemies before this; we all will survive the next four years as long as we all maintain an open mind, lots of hope, and unity.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
