11 Ways You Have To Prepare For Election Day
WTAX

Whether or not you're ready, the day you've been awaiting is finally (almost) here. Here are a few ways you can prepare for this inevitable day.

1.Register to vote.

Well, actually, if you haven't already done this, its kind of too late. Just wait until the next election (congrats, you're off the hook).


2. Get to know the candidates.

Turn on pretty much any news media network. Or open your laptop. Or just sit on your phone. Everything is out there. At this point, you would've have to have lived under a rock not to know these two...primates.

3. Practice punching holes in paper to avoid hanging chads.

We don't want a repeat of the 2000 Election. What's that? We don't use paper anymore? Oh, well just in case.

4. Choose your perfect patriotic outfit.

If nothing else, you can look great, right?

5. Get a good night's sleep on Monday.

This will leave you well rested for your drive to the polls and perhaps you'll dream of who to vote for.

6. Bring a snack with you to your voting precinct.

Not totally sure if its allowed or not, but it will keep you from getting hangry while waiting in potentially very long lines.

7. Go hide.

Honestly, you never know what will happen this election day, so it's best to stay out of the fray.

8. But first, go buy yourself a bottle of wine, or two....or three.

You'll more than likely need it while you're watching the results coming in.

9. Make sure your TV works.

You're not going to want to miss the madness that is sure to ensue.

10. Book a flight to a foreign country or learn to fly a plane yourself.

Ya know, just in case.

11. Honestly, just pray at this point.

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.
