As my phone is blowing up from notifications from CNN and FOX News, I see so and so is running and this one dropped and that one. Stop!

It is getting way to overwhelming for me and I am a political science major with an intent in government. Even though election season is my favorite season besides the Spring, I want to get myself more aware of all the candidates since I can officially vote for a President and fulfill my duties as being an American citizen. I am currently 19 years old and have my own opinions on who and why I am voting for this upcoming season, so I wanted to get other college students opinions on who they are thinking about voting for this upcoming November.

I asked my fellow friends from different universities and some from my schools various ages and genders to see who they are thinking about and potentially voting for in November this year.

"Honestly, who are the candidates?" — Anonymous (18, Female SUNY Brockport)

"I'm voting for Sanders because he is the most progressive and I agree with his beliefs in healthcare and women's rights. Women's rights are obviously important to me because I want to have the ability to choose what I do with my body, my time, and have equal pay for equal work, etc. I also agree with his ideals on healthcare because I'm affected by health issues, like my high blood pressure, thyroid issues, and kidney problems. He doesn't want pharmaceutical companies to make a profit while consumers go bankrupt pay for necessary medication, so I have personal ties to those issues. Not to sure where I stand with the minimum wage and free college. There are pros and cons to each side." — Taylor Dickson (20, Female SUNY Brockport)

"Bernie Sanders because he is not stupid like Trump" — Allie Barlowe (18, Female SUNY Geneseo)

"RUBIO RUBIO" — Christina D (18, Female Saint Johns University)

"None of the Candidates are good enough for this election. Which is why I do not want to vote" — Sherrise Rodriguez (18, Female SUNY Brockport)

"Feel the bern, I'm very about service and equality. I believe that those who are better off and have had great opportunities are obligated to help those who haven't. You should leave this world having made it a better place for everyone, not just yourself." — Rob Bertz (21, Male SUNY Brockport)

"I will be voting for Donald Trump" — Michelle Weinfurt (18, Female SUNY Oswego)

Many college students do know who the candidates are and some do not know who the candidates are and do not think their vote is important at all. College students are the future of this country, we can help make a decision that could either make or break our future. From the many responses I received, I can tell you that college students do matter in voting.

By reading this article, I hope to encourage you all to go out and vote in November. With many opinions from Republican, Democratic and Independent viewed college students this will help you with your decision in the upcoming fall. November is far away but it will come sooner than you think. Lastly, I want you to make a decision that is right for you.

Get excited people!
