Vote For A Better Future

This is the most important election in a millennial's life.

Vote For A Better Future
Polis for Congress

In one word, I am concerned. This upcoming presidential election has me concerned for my future, and as a young adult soon to be graduating from undergraduate studies, this election will most definitely shape my future. I understand that people vote for a variety of reasons, and vote for the reasons that are more important to them personally. In reality, there is no perfect choice for president. Both candidates have serious flaws, and it has become a question of who is worse than the other. Unfortunately, this question shapes my future.

My main issue right now regards the economy, because I want to be able to find a profitable job in the private sector once I graduate. The issue with this is that the candidate that will probably arise victorious, as no concern for small business, and only wants to expand government control via excessive taxation and contingencies. The candidate that would look out for and has proven to succeed in the private sector, has taken honesty to a new level, making him very unattractive to the undecided voters.

Also, as a woman, who has grown up surrounded by privileges due to the benefits of hard work, and taking advantage of the American Dream, I understand the quality of hard work. I am beyond irritated that the Obama Administration has undermined hard work, and takes from people who work hard for a living and give their hard earned money to people who do not. I look back on my life and I see that if my Grandfather had started his company in a time like this, with an administration like Obama's and a possible future administration like Hillary Clinton's, then my life would be drastically different today. This fact alone makes me concerned for my future.

Unfortunately, due to the enormous amount of corruption that the Clintons have proven to be a part of, I am afraid that the candidate who would actually work with my future in mind has no chance. If there is a chance for the Republican party to deem victorious this election, then it requires that every person, especially young people, vote for a better future. Clinton only cares about her future, and her benefit, so everyone must vote against her in the coming weeks.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
