Destination Voting: Turn Your Ballot Into A Vacation

Tired of voting near to your boring, average, American home?

Destination Voting: Turn Your Ballot Into A Vacation

Why allow one of our nation’s most profound and unique civic rights to be mundane and unpleasant? Rather than remaining in your current, disgusting electoral district, vote in the paradise of your dreams!

Destination Number One: Honolulu, Hawaii

United States presidential elections take place during the abhorrent month of November, a time in which our nation’s depressed are statistically proven to be most likely to take their own lives. Rather than be responsible for your own death, register to vote in one of Hawaii’s districts! Once there, revel in the fact that the man who just sneezed on the ballot you have to use may have just come from the beach, and that after the one-three hour process of voting, you could be there too.

Destination Number Two: Vail, Colorado

Once every four years, many Americans start up their car engines to roll up to their community’s voting center. After an excruciatingly long period of time spent looking for a parking spot, every American citizen is entitled to his or her vote. Why put up with the queuing catastrophe that is the American parking lot when you can ski into line to vote?! Imagine this: in Vail, you can ski into line to vote! Who wouldn't want to end a day of shredding the gnar by casting their vote for the 2016 Presidential Election?

Destination Number Three: Albuquerque, New Mexico

Every "Breaking Bad" fan wants to find some excuse to travel to the city featured in their favorite TV show. Walter White must have been a registered voter too! Isn’t it crazy what a relatable character he is?! Well, if he could vote in New Mexico, why can’t you? After all, residents of the Southwest affectionately refer to voting in Albuquerque as “The 'Breaking Bad' Experience.”

Destination Number Four: Springfield, USA

Keep it exciting. No one can really be sure of exactly where you’re going when you say that you’re headed to Springfield to vote. Like an aging married couple, it’s important that you maintain an element of mystique in your relationship with the Federal Government through voting. A trip to generic “Springfield” to vote is mysterious and possibly even romantic.

No matter where you cast your ballot this November, just know that it doesn’t need to be a dreadful ordeal. Many Americans don’t vote because their current registered districts simply suck! Spice things up. It’s easy -- just maintain a long-term residence in one or more of the 50 states!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
