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.

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?

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?
