Who Do You Truly Think Is Best for America?

Who Do You Truly Think Is Best for America?

Many people complain about both candidates in this year's election. I see and hear it all the time how neither Clinton or Trump is fit to be president, how they are both terrible and we "have" to pick between the lesser of two evils.

My question to the nation then is: Why are you going to vote for either?

Well over half of the people I know, maybe even 3/4ths believe that both candidates are awful. Assuming that this rough statistic is true for all of Americans, this would be the perfect year to have a third party candidate win. I want America to have the president that America thinks is best fit. I think it is universally understood that the Electoral College is something that needs to go, however, if one candidate does no receive over half (270/538) of the electoral votes, then it is up to the House of Representatives to chose the president. If this happens, each state will gather their representatives to provide only one vote per state as to who the president should be. If this happens, there is a better chance that someone fit to be president in the eyes of Americans will become president.

What am I trying to say?

All I am saying is, simply vote for who YOU thing is best for America. Do not simply vote party lines, do not vote based on peer pressure. Please do not not vote, because by not voting you are simply letting others chose the fate of America for you. Research the candidates for who they really are, not just what you see on social media and the news. If you think a write-in is best, do that! Because if what I believe is true, that over half of Americans see neither candidate to be fit for the Oval Office, then neither of the candidates will be voted in office!

So go vote, vote for who you think is best. The only person who will know who you voted for is you.

I definately support Trump, I think he is the best option for America right now. However, I want the president to be whoever America thinks is best for America right now.

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.

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!
