The Presidential Election Is Here
remodeling.hw.net

With all three debates concluded and election day already here, the presidential election is getting more serious and citizens are more anxious than ever.

It has been said to be one of the most controversial elections due to the two candidates who have made it to the final running. We have Donald Trump, television celebrity, and then we have Hilary Clinton, former first lady and Secretary of State. If Clinton wins, she will be the first woman president. If Trump wins, he will be the first television celebrity to make it as a president.

The problem for a lot of Americans is they don’t like the two choices. Trump has continuously made racist remarks and derogatory comments against women. Hilary has had an FBI case against her in the search for her deleted 650,000 emails she had on a private server used for official communications.

Clintons email case was recently opened again by the FBI due to possible evidence on a laptop that belongs to Anthony Weiner, American politician and former Congressmen. Just two days before election day, FBI director said that they are no longer looking into the case because no new evidence has been found, therefore their conclusion has not changed.

The polls have become more and more undecided leading up to election day. Recently, Clinton had the lead and shortly after Trump had the lead. The predictions on the electoral map are constantly changing so it’s hard to say what the overall outcome will be.

Western Illinois University hasn’t been wrong since 1975 when predicting who will win the presidential election. Earlier this year they predicted that Trump will win. We will have to see if they can keep up their streak.

Due to all the outrage of this election, some are either choosing not to vote for either candidate or are voting for a third party. However, if you want to vote, you can do so at your local polling office if you haven’t already. Just be sure to do it by Election Day (Nov. 8) before they close.

May the results of the election be in your favor.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
