This Election Is Draining My Soul

Wake me up if I'm safe.

This Election Is Draining My Soul
Scott

To be quite honest, I'm so tired that I having extreme difficulty writing this article. I was originally going to be writing about strange sexual fantasies and fetishes, but I have been so drained lately that all I want to do is just sleep for the rest of eternity. It's not because of work or school work, or even stressful events that have occurred over the past two weeks. No, it's all because of this freaking election.

Hillary versus Trump. Or, as I like to call it, a sane woman versus a bigoted, angry Cheez-it. Over the past year, I've seen it all. I've seen all the slander against her, the allegations against him, Putin endorsements, the excuses, the threats, the possible outcomes, and I'm done. Of course, I want Hillary to win. My life, as well as the lives of others like me, the lives of my sisters and mother, the lives of my friends, they are all on the line if a Trump presidency were to occur. So yes, I'm frightened because it may be possible that we only have a weekend left of normalcy.

It's extremely stressful and my body, mind, and sanity are already at empty so this is just making me spiral into extreme depression. I just want this to be done and over with. I am hoping people make the right choice and think before voting. Your vote matters, it really does. I am not going to waste my breath bashing Trump supporters; everyone has a right to their own opinion, even if that opinion is backed with misinformation and bigotry, you have the right to that. I've already used up all my energy on that crowd, and now, with what little energy I have left, I am putting it into rooting for Hillary. I understand that this article may seem incoherent, or may seem confusing at points, but honestly, we should be used to it at this point. It has literally been the theme of this election since it started. Now, I'm just going to go to bed. See you all after the dust has settled.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
