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.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
