7 Things I'll Be Doing On Election Night

No matter what your party preference is, you have to admit that this year's election is definitely going down in history for many reasons. It has surely been the most "entertaining" election year, between the political campaigns, the drama, and the fights. It also has some very controversial and interesting candidates that have caused many people to ponder and worry about the future of our country no matter who gets elected. I, along with a good majority of America (I'm guessing), am ready for this election to just be over with already. So, this is how I will be spending my election night. Who's with me?

(Note: most of this article is satirical)

1. Drinking a bottle of wine

And if you're not a wine kind of person, grab your own drink of choice. You're going to need it on election night. I know I will!

2. Wearing black

I will be mourning the loss of our country's sanity by wearing black that night. RIP America. Just kidding...kind of.

3. Celebrating the end of political ads

I might be mourning the loss of sanity in our country, but I'll also be celebrating the fact that political ads will finally be off my screen. I think everyone can join together, no matter what party each of us might be affiliated with, in celebrating that blessing. Finally ads about potato chips and kitchen appliances will be back on TV.

4. Probably crying a bit

Still not sure if they will be happy tears, sad tears, or angry tears, but crying will probably happen. To be fair, it'll probably mainly be happy tears at the fact that this election is finally over and I won't have to see another political ad.

5. Googling the best countries to live in

Because after this election, it might be a good idea to just give America a break and get out while you can. Maybe I'll do a little traveling and experience another culture for a bit. I'll preferably find one that isn't going through a chaotic government change as well, so I guess the UK is out of the mix because of Brexit. Darn. Canada has always seemed like a happy country....

6. Starting to pack my things

I'll just start packing on election night as well. Get that done early so I'm ready to go whenever the new president is announced and people start going crazy. The faster I can save myself from the chaos the better.

7. Searching for a flight

Need to get a head start on this as well. I'm sure I won't be the only one ready to flee the country, so I'll need to book my flight early before they sell out. Just thinking ahead on this one. Peace out America; see you in four years when you (hopefully) learn how to pick better candidates.

In all seriousness, this election was just a roller coaster of emotions and, for lack of better word, a bit of a s*** show, but it is still important to get your voice out there, express your right as an American, and vote on November 8.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
