Election Night As Told By Parks & Rec

Election night happened las week and now people are left feeling a lot of emotions all at once. This was a really important election, and no matter which way it went, people would have been upset. Now Donald Trump is our President Elect and that has left a large portion of the population, including me, looking back at election night and wondering what happened.

1. When it looked like Hillary was winning the electoral college at first.

2. And then Trump started gaining more votes.

3. So you prepare yourself to stay up all night to see who really wins.

4. And you tell yourself not to freak out because there isn't a final answer yet.

5. You catch yourself wishing you could go back to when you were younger and knew nothing about politics.

6. Then you remember this is an important election and you're happy to have been a part of it, even though it isn't looking good.

7. You wonder how so many people could support Trump and want him as the president.

8. You wonder if maybe this is all a dream.

9. The votes keep coming in and Trump keeps getting more votes from the electoral college.

10. He gets the 270 necessary votes to win.

11. And you text all of your friends, asking them what to do now. What comes next?

But you tell yourself, that no matter what everything is going to be okay. The sun will still shine, puppies will still be cute, and love will always trump hate.

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.
