20 Things That Are Actually Harder To Do Than Going Out And Voting

November 6th is one of the most important days of the year: election day. No matter who you're voting for, what you're voting on, and why you choose this way or that, your vote in this upcoming election is critical. Yet young people continue to be the least present at the booth.

Although everyone says they're going to vote, there's plenty of reasons that people come up with to get out of voting: it's too hard, the line is too long, I have work, I have class, or I don't have a ride. Well, it only takes about 15 mins to actually stand on line and vote and if that's too long still, you're just lazy. In most states and schools, election day is an excusable absence. Plus, even Uber is offering discounted rides to polling places. So, what's the excuse? It's too hard?

We have the power to sway this midterm election, especially young people. It's not hard to get yourself to a polling place and make your voice heard. But, if you truly believe that it's too much effort to go out and vote, take a look at the things that are actually harder than going to the polling booth and casting your vote.

1. Untangling headphones

2. The Rainbow Road in "Mario Kart"

3. Naming all 50 states

4. ... And their capitals

5. Mondays

6. Getting out of bed on your day off

7. Getting a full night's sleep

8. Keeping up on a diet

9. Actually going to the gym and working out

10. Figuring out your password after you've forgotten it

11. Knitting a sweater

12. Finding the perfect outfit

13. Budgeting for Christmas gifts

14. Running even half a marathon

15. Having your name spelled right on your Starbucks order

16. Baking cookies perfectly

17. Building a model airplane

18. Trying to get concert tickets

19. Avoiding "Games of Thrones" spoilers

20. Parallel parking

Not too hard to get out and vote now is it?

Get to the polls November 6th and let your voice be heard!

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…
