Election 2016 As Told by "Portlandia" GIFs
rollingstone.com

We are officially into Election 2016. We've had the whirlwind of the Iowa caucuses, the entertaining Republican debates, the boring Democratic debates, the countless Trump memes, the "SNL" skits, and the constant shade every candidate has been throwing at another. Now I enjoy this craziness, it's like a reality show that you get to engage in, but sometimes it just gets too insane for me to take seriously anymore. Another thing that I enjoy, but can't take seriously, is "Portlandia." Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are back at it with their sixth season and, like Election 2016, I am living for it. So I decided to mash them together and describe the feelings I've had thus far for Election 2016 using Portlandia GIFs. Enjoy!

1. When Bernie Sanders starts talking about the crazy debt college students have.

2. When Hillary Clinton said, "May the force be with you," at the end of the debate.

3. When John Kasich talks with his hands the whole time.

4. When I watched the Republican debate.

5. When I watched the Democratic debate and there was no fighting.

6. When I talk to an uniformed citizen.

7. Whenever Trump said something sexist, racist, or really when he said anything.

8. When Ben Carson would talk at a debate.

9. When Hillary Clinton tries to be down with the millennials on social media.

10. Whenever Martin O'Malley had to go up against Sanders and Clinton.

11. When I realized Trump's candidacy wasn't a joke anymore.

12. When Sarah Palin gave her endorsement to Trump.

13. When someone tries to explain Iowa caucuses.

14. When I saw that Bernie lost Iowa.

15. When Trump was a sore loser in Iowa and demanded a recount.

16. When I'm already over it and we haven't even gotten into the thick of things.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
