12 Times Buffy Related To The 2016 Election

We all need a break from this serious election talk. For many of us, we have been actively seeking out distractions from the madness that has become our reality post-election. While it’s important to keep the dialogue going and continue to spread the message of love and equality, it is also important to take care of ourselves mentally and physically. Here is the best of both worlds, from my favorite show of all time.

1. When Giles described your reaction during Tuesday night’s polling.
Season 1, “Welcome to the Hellmouth”

2. When you realized Glory’s minions were the real “Basket of Deplorables."
Season 5, "Intervention"

3. When Trump said Mexicans are rapists, murderers and drug dealers, and Muslims are terrorists...
Season 3, “Doppelgängland"











4....And you realized he knows about as much about Mexicans as Andrew does.
Season 7, "Conversations With Dead People"















5. When Giles described your reaction after the president-elect was named at the end of Tuesday night's polling.


Season 7, "Chosen"












6. When you finally accepted that the election really just happened.
Season 6, “Once More With Feeling”











7.
Or when people say “Trump is not my president.”
Season 3, Episode “The Wish”

8. That time Mayor Wilkins was another blond man with bad hair that we didn't want behind a podium. Thinking about Trump's Ascension, I mean, Inauguration yet?
Season 3, “Graduation Day: Part 2”

9. That time Trump said the election was rigged.


Season 4, “Out of My Mind”


10. When Clinton tried to point out Trump’s misgivings during the height of her email scandal.
Season 4, “Where the Wild Things Are”

11. When you tried to engage in respectful dialogue with white supremacists and those who believe white privilege is a myth.


Season 5, "Tough Love"












12. When you were emotionally drained post-election, and didn’t know what to do or how to find the motivation to continue on. But you decided you were an ally, a Social Justice Warrior, so you had to push forward and face each day as it came.

Because really, it could be worse. We could be on a Hellmouth.
Season 7, "Bring on the Night"

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
