5 Things I Would Rather Do Than Watch The Election

Tuesday is Election Day and while I do care about the outcome and the future of our country very much, I did not want to write a political article or discuss my political views. So instead, here are 5 things I would much rather do than watch Tuesday's election.

1. Binge-watch "The Walking Dead"

"The Walking Dead" became one of my favorite shows two years ago. The suspense, the character development, the special effects...this show is one in which you can easily watch an entire season in just a few days.

2. Refresh my mind


Go for a long, relaxing walk away from any media or billboards, like in the Boston commons and Beacon Hill to forget about all the anxiety the election is causing. Seeing the last of the foliage will make you happy and forget about politics.

3. Cook myself something special


Find a yummy, simple recipe of something you love or have always wanted to try and spend the afternoon taking your time, listening to some relaxing music, and filling your home with the smells of something new and delicious.

4. Celebrate National Pancake Day


November 8th is not only Election Day, but it's also National Pancake Day. I don't know about you, but I would much rather celebrate pancakes than celebrate the election.

5. Write the next biggest hit

Inspiration comes in waves for me, and watching the election, sitting on the edge of my seat, for hours will take up valuable time where instead I could be writing and being creative. So I would much rather sit at my piano and let lyrics and music flow out of me than sit in front of the television all night waiting to hear the results of the election.

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.

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.

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.
