Six Things that Won't Change after Elections

Tomorrow, America will be irrevocably changed. Obama will be on his way out of office and Trump, Hillary, Johnson, or Stein will be on their way in. Policies will be changed; new supreme court justices elected; judicial orders may (or may not) be reversed.

With all that change, here is a list of six things that will stay constant.

1. Your best friends, you know the ones you've had since kindergarten, or fifth grade, or college, the ones who have seen you through thick and thin. They'll still be there when you break up, or get married, or graduate.

2. Ice cream will still be amazing in all of its different flavors and textures.

3. Your childhood memories, the good, the bad, the ugly, will remain intact. You'll remember when you had bees as pets, or that time you rode an elephant with those people you can't remember, or that summer trip to Costa Rica.

4. Swimming will still be an amazing pass time. Whether swimming to you means tanning by the pool or chicken fighting with your brothers, it will still be the best way to pass the slow summer time.

5. Home cooked meals will still make you salivate. Especially if, like me, you're away at school and your mom is a plane ride away.

6. Thanksgiving will still be on its way! And you'll get to see old best friends and make new memories and eat that home cooked meal (or take out Chinese, whatever tradition you seem to have).

Don't get too down. Remember, November is a month of thankfulness so, even though our country's future might be rocky, take a moment to celebrate the things that won't change.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
