Why I'm Writing In My Dog's Name For The Presidential Election
Catherine Craig

As we get closer and closer to election day, you can't help to wonder why a criminal and a bully are leading in the Democratic and Republican parties. Recently, Cruz and Kasich have both left the GOP and now Trump will become the Republican nominee. As a republican myself, I am terrified. This twisted feeling of how terrible my future is looking with these two leading candidates is my inspiration to write my dog's name in during the election next fall.

My dog, Jenna Craig (please do not mock her name and call her "Jenny Craig"; she is very sensitive and as her partner-in-crime, I would have to be the one to comfort her), is a blonde labrador, but don't be concerned–she's quite intelligent. In addition, she doesn't dye her hair or tans till she is orange: She wants the people to know she is the real deal. Jenna is a lovable and kind-hearted dog. She won't make Mexico build a wall to secure the boarder, she'd rather use unemployed US citizens to improve what we already have.

Jenna is royalty in her household and is spoiled with attention, however she will never let her crown be a reason to look at people like they are peasants. No, she has never owned numerous businesses, but maybe that's a good thing because she doesn't have an ego bigger than the Trump Tower! Jenna is a great listener. She believes that the people should have their voices heard and the federal government needs to shrink. Her goal as a president is to be for the people while maintaining America's relationship with other countries. She understands how important it is to be socially Liberal, but she also knows the US debt is very high and the country needs to remain fiscally Conservative.

Believe me, millennials will love her. Unlike Hillary, Jenna doesn't have to try hard to be liked by the millennial generation. She won't act phony to persuade the minority communities for their vote, she loves everybody the same. Truthfully, if "Mean Girls" was "Mean Dogs", Jenna would have been the cool mom, so why not vote for her?!

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.
