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.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
