Doomsday...I Mean Election Day Is Almost Here
Scholarblogs/Emory

If you have been following my previous articles, I am happy to let you know that this will be my last article pertaining to the election.

That's because the fateful day is almost upon us. On November 8th, Americans will head to the polls to pick their poison...I mean candidate to become the supreme dictator of the United States. You know what I meant to say.

Soon, political analysis about each candidate will turn into discussions about the election results and what to brace for during the upcoming presidency. For many Americans, this will either mark victory or defeat for their political party, for others, this will be a bittersweet relief. For the months leading into the election, we have been bombarded with political ads from each candidate and levels of pandering never before seen in a presidential election. After November 8th, we will finally get a break from all the nonstop ads, endless news coverage and ridiculous commentary from reporters, candidates, and voters alike. Well, I don't think this will be the end of the ridiculous comments, especially if Trump doesn't (hopefully) get elected.

I have to say that seeing this election come to a close is a bittersweet feeling. I'll look forward to no longer have to see 24/7 coverage of the election for the next four years, but I will also miss the many entertaining moments this election had to offer. We have never seen an election quite like this, and we hopefully won't have to see one like this again, unless Kanye West still decides to run in 2020. But if Kanye does run and win in 2020, that is sure to promise entertainment and a pair of Yeezys for everyone.

Most importantly, throughout this election, we have learned things about our fellow Americans and the country we live in. We learned that unfortunately, racism and bigotry is still rampant in our society, we learned to watch which emails we delete and we learned to always turn in our tax returns.

To me, the best lesson we all can learn from this experience is that anything is possible. I mean, who would have ever thought that the next president of the United States could either be a woman or a guy that has little to no political experience at all? Considering the fact that Donald Trump could very well be the next president should make you both optimistic about your chances of running for president and extremely terrified at the fact that he will have control of the launch codes.

But in the end, we as Americans have a huge decision to make come November 8th. Either decision will make history. Just remember: don't let others sway you; whoever your choice is, is the right choice for you.

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.
