Why You Should Talk About Politics
Iran Politics Club Forum

It's that beautiful time of year again: election season! During this sensitive time in our country, remember it is extremely important to make yourself heard and make sure you shut down anyone who disagrees. If you're like me and prefer to remain quiet on social media about your political affiliation, here are some reasons why you should reconsider.

1. Your political rants on Facebook really change people's minds

Make sure you post paragraphs and paragraphs ranting about a political party's views. The longer the post, the better. Bonus points if you insult people who disagree with you. Never mind that most folks have a standpoint they firmly believe in. These posts really change people's minds!

2. The people of the internet love a good debate

No, we don't want to see adorable pictures of your puppy or your beautiful new grandchild! That's old news! What we really want to read is an offensive political status.

3. The more conspiracy theories you come up with, the better

These are actually pretty entertaining. I love reading about how Hillary Clinton is an alien sent from Jupiter to destroy the country and Donald Trump likes to eat kittens for dinner. Keep 'em coming.

From now until November, you might be tempted to deactivate your Facebook or Twitter accounts, but I urge you to put both feet in the boiling political water. Make some popcorn, post something controversial, sit back, and watch the internet burn.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
