Why You Should Talk About Politics

Ready or not, here election season comes!

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.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
