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

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.

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

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.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
