11 Things I'd Rather Do Than Debate Politics With You

With the election in a week (yikes) and society constantly debating politics (double yikes), it's clear that everyone is very opinionated in how they feel about this election. All power to you, but there are a lot of things I'd rather do than spend my time arguing with someone - especially over this election. Here are 11 things I'd rather do than debate politics with you:


1. Clean

I hate cleaning. Sure, it's necessary, but it's probably last on my to-do list unless my roommates are annoyed or I'm having company. Those of us who enjoy orderly chaos hate cleaning, but I'd rather clean than debate Trump or Hillary with you.

2. Go Back To High School

I visited my high school over fall break and I don't hate it, but I've certainly moved on. College is a different atmosphere and I happen to enjoy it a lot. Do I want to go back to high school so that I can have someone tell me when to eat lunch, start school at 7:50AM, and be told that I can't wear a hat? No, I do not. I enjoy having one class on Thursdays, but thanks anyway.

3. Get Puked On

Baby, adult, drunk adult... no thank you.

4. Dive In The Snow In A Swimsuit

In Northern Indiana it's known to get at least -10 below with windchill. Why society thinks that doing this is a good idea, I have no clue. I'd rather be caught dead than do this, and I'd rather do this than debate politics with you - get it?

5. Get In A Fight With My Best Friend

I hate arguing, have I made that clear? I especially hate arguing with someone who is incredibly close to me and knows all of my secrets.

6. Eat Any Condiment Raw

Ketchup? No. Mayonnaise? Nah. Mustard? Never. BBQ Sauce? I only like it with my chicken.

7. Look Like Donald Trump

Self explanatory.

8. Look Like Hillary Clinton

Also self explanatory.

9. Get A Cavity Filled

One time, the dentist didn't numb me all of the way and started drilling into my tooth. That was pleasant. So is getting a cavity filled. However, it's still better than debating politics.

10. Cancel Christmas

It's Halloween and I'm already listening to Christmas music. Yes, I am one of those people. Elf? I can quote the entire thing. 25 Days of Christmas on ABC? I'm all about it. I love Christmas and if anyone ever cancelled Christmas I'd probably cry... a lot. Literally me every year:

11. Come Up With A List Of 11 Things I Hate Doing Because Everyone Wants To Debate Politics Nowadays

Go ahead and debate politics, but you must excuse me while I lay in bed watching Netflix. May the Force be with you on November 8th.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
