This Girl Used Tinder To Get Out The Vote

And it was the best thing ever.

This Girl Used Tinder To Get Out The Vote
Nora Baron

The election just passed, and everybody is still reeling from it. While some may be worried about the aftershock, many of us were working hard to make sure one of the candidates got elected or that people just used their constitutionally-given right to vote.

Among these people was Nora Baron, who, while she wasn't volunteering directly with a campaign or a party, worked hard to turn people out to the polls to vote on election day. She didn't do this by making phone calls or block walking. Instead, she did this in probably the most unique way possible — by using her Tinder profile.

First thing was first, she changed her Tinder bio.

"Remember to vote, y'all 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸" and, "Show me your 'I voted' sticker/you at the polls and we can go on a date," her profile bio read.

Then, she began messaging every single guy she had ever matched with — all 247 of them — with a reminder to go vote in the presidential election. The reactions varied.

Some thought she was using it as a pick-up line:

"No, Frank."

Some took her kind message gracefully and responded kindly.

One guy questioned her reasoning for using a dating app to remind people to vote:

A couple of men told her of their ineligibility to vote:

Canadians, man.

"Apparently wearing other people's skin is illegal" — I personally find serial killers fascinating and inappropriate jokes hilarious, so this one is honestly my favorite response.

Others informed her that they simply didn't care to vote:

Every guy named Preston that I've ever heard of has been rude, so this one didn't really surprise me. By the way: it is a civic duty and a right.

Some guys decided that since her reminder was on Tinder, they were going to use the app for what it was truly meant for:

One guy had a little fun with it:

After all of that, she actually ended up getting a few people to go to the polls and vote:

She might've even met her dream man:

And then there's Sam, who simply had the perfect response to Nora's "friendly reminder":

And yes, she did actually give them her snapchat, got multiple pictures of the "I voted" stickers, and got a few dates out of all of this — even though her only intention was to get people to the polls!

And after all of that, this is what somebody had to say about these messages:

I agree, Jessie.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
