The 2016 Presidential Election is now. Are you going to step up to the plate and vote or are you going to keep your opinion to yourself and leave others to decide America's future for you? Get out there and vote, because your opinion matters.

As citizens of the United States, you have the right of free speech. It might not seem like any new information, but this freedom that we have is a big deal. Some countries do not have the option to voice their opinions or thoughts, especially about government issues, but you do! Don't take your rights for granted, because others envy how you live and the freedoms that you have.

You should vote in the 2016 Presidential Election, because if you do not then you don't have the right to complain about the results. If you are allowed to vote I would recommend that you do so because every vote counts. If you vote, you have the right to complain or discuss the outcome of the election, but if you do not vote you should not complain because you had the chance to voice your opinion.

Elections are important, even when the candidates are not favorable for many. Look up information on each candidate and reach a conclusion on who best fits your ideals and vote for them. Not one candidate is going to believe in the same thing that you do for all areas, but one will be a closer match to what you believe in than others. Educate yourself and pick who you think is the better fit to run our Country.

Educate yourself before you vote, and vote! Let America hear what you have to say!

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.
