2016 Presidential Election Emotions as Told by "Friends"
Vodkaster

The 2016 Presidential election has been an emotional one. From the very first day of candidates who decided to run, to the very last second of the vote counting, it’s been exhausting for all people involved. It’s safe to say that for my very first time being able to vote in a presidential election, it’s been pretty intense. Now that I’ve had some time to debrief, I’d like to share with you the presidential election as told by “Friends”.

1.Going to the polls for the first time


BEST! DAY ! EVER!

2. Joining the "I Voted" club

Free pizza?! Puppies?! Cotton candy?! JUST BECAUSE I VOTED?!!

3. "Doing" your homework while watching the live vote count

Yes, I did do the reading for homework.

4. Waiting for the final "Toss Up States" to call in


Seriously. California, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire shaved some years off my life.

5.Trying to stay awake for the final results



So. Tired. Must. See. End. Vote. Count.

6. The Next Morning


How could we?! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

7. A moment of panic


What about the children?! The women?! The LGBTQ community?! The minorities?!!

8. Sadness


Conveniently, it rained on November 9th at Keene State, fitting the mood of the day. Pure, sadness.

9. When it really hits you Hillary didn't win...

She was so close to shattering that glass ceiling...why America...why?!

10. Finally, coming together.


Despite who you voted for, it's time that we stand up together and try to heal the divided nation. It's time to share love and treat each other with immense kindness. We need to stand in solidarity with people all over the country, the world even, to fight for the equality of all people.

"If we stand together and work together with respect for our differences, strengthen our convictions, and love for this nation, our best days are still ahead of us." -Hillary Clinton

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
