This week the 2016 Presidential Election will finally come to an end. While this election will certainly be one for the history books, it has easily been the most annoying thing to have to hear about on a daily basis over the course of 2016. If you're like me and are relieved that this God forsaken election is over, I have compiled a list of 16 ways to celebrate the election finally being over.
1. Try different types of alcohol.
I think we've all earned the right to a drink or seven after having to put up with this election. Here's a list of drinks to try.
2. Check something off your bucket list.
Considering no matter who wins this election we will most likely be considered a joke by other countries, you might as well get a jump on checking things off your bucket list.
3. Do something you always thought would be impossible.
If we cannot only have a a reality TV star run for president, but also a criminal, you can do whatever it is you think might be impossible to do.
4. Get a massage.
Excedrin found that over 70% of Americans had actually experienced a migraine caused by this election. Go and have all that tension relieved to relax.
5. Sleep through the announcement of who actually won the election.
Believe me when I say sleep will be better than listening to everyone's reactions.
6. While you're at it, just delete all social media accounts.
Because nothing is worse than having to see thousands of posts from people who have suddenly become political experts giving their opinions.
7. And if you don't do 5 or 6, but noise-cancelling headphones.
It would be very naive to think that everyone is just going to drop it once this election ends, so instead of listening you can just bask in the silence.
8. Travel abroad.
At least this way you can spend the first part of the new president's term in a different country and decide if applying for dual-citizenship to another country will be worth it.
9. Throw a party.
You survived the most stress inducing election, probably in the history of America, so throw yourself a nice American-themed party. This also goes along with #1.
10. Get a puppy.
That way you can always come home to a giant, fluffy ball of stress relief even if our country's leader doesn't have the qualifications to lead our nation.
11. Write a memoir.
Document your experience you've had with this absurdly crazy election and profit from it.
12. Go shopping.
Retail therapy is the most effective therapy.
13. Go to a concert.
Distract yourself from the stresses of the election and the impending chaos that will ensue by enjoying some great music.
14. Watch some comedy specials.
A good laugh is good for everyone. Here are some comedies on Netflix.
15. Drink some more.
Enough alcohol will erase all the memories that this election even happened.
16. Go vote!
While this election has been a complete and utter joke, please make sure you vote! You have the ability to influence who will direct the future of our country, so don't let the opportunity go to waste.
