10 Reasons We're Experiencing Election Anxiety

As the election approaches, we can’t help but feel anxious towards the various comments and disagreement among parties. With the aggression surrounding this election on Facebook and in the Presidential debates, we can’t help but feel scared and apprehensive for the election of 2016 so here are some reasons we feel this way:

1. Sexist comments. From Trump’s tirades…



2. To Hillary’s approach to vote for her because she’s a woman; our respect level is running low.


3. The hypocrisy of both candidates' ideas versus their actions.


4. The empty promises. Every election year, we seem to be promised major change, so here comes the BS.



5. The childishness of it all.



6. The Twitter wars. If they can’t be civil in person or on social media, how are we supposed to expect them to be civil in office?




7. Are we running for president or are we getting sent to the principal's office? We’re all a little confused…and would rather hear their ideas. Save the argument for later.


8. The terrifying reality of politics that we've seen far too often.


9. Constantly questioning how can we trust either of them to lead this country is not the best foundation for this election.



10. Maybe they should follow their own advice and figure out a plan to move forward and ditch the current plan of attack they've been undergoing.

This election has evolved from banter to Twitter wars and Facebook disputes that continue to contribute to our election anxiety. Moving forward, our anxiety will alleviate if the candidates can show respect for one another and focus on America otherwise, this anxiety will become an epidemic.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
