13 Things I Did Instead Of Watching The Last Presidential Debate Of 2016

Because why would I skip out on volunteering with kids to watching bigger kids make fools of themselves?

Thank the lord the final presidential election debate is over. No more of Trump's "No one respects women more than I do" talk or Hillary's email hacking nightmare. We can get on with our lives and breathe a little easier, emphasis on little. Election Day is right around the corner and what you choose to do on that day will make history for the next four years. Don't sleep in or try and get that extra hour of work in. Go out and vote. Now that's said, here is a list of 13 things I did instead of watching the debate.

1. I went to a meeting:

We all have something better to do on a Wednesday night than just watching two baboons wrestle on live TV.

2. I ate dinner.

Many people probably ate dinner while watching the show but I had a sit-down meal (at Panda Express, so fancy) while people were laughing and screaming at their televisions.

3. I wrote this listicle.

Writing and following your dreams is way more important than this political garbage.

4. I took a nap.

Sleep and a sound mind take precedence over nonsense.

5. I hammocked with my best friend.

Staying in touch with nature is a great way to spend a totally (not) normal Wednesday night

6. Planned a book drive.

Being a part of a service organization requires you to do your part in the community and I'm in charge of planning a book drive for National Service Week in November, getting that under wraps now.

7. Did statistics homework.

Homework to a college student is like nap time to a 5-year-old, except no one will ever want it.

8. Volunteered at a Halloween Carnival.

Oklahoma State University's Student Union Activities Board hosted a Halloween Carnival for the town of Stillwater and I helped manage a bounce house. It's tough work when kids are screaming at each other and you're trying to count heads in the dark but still better than watching that debate.

9. Studied for an exam.

This was an accident. I was looking at my laptop screen and decided between watching the debate or studying for my exam on Friday. I chose to better myself than to laugh at things old people say.

10. Ate cotton candy.

The carnival offered cotton candy. It was watermelon flavored but still better than that debate.

11. Stared at the wall for 20 minutes.

This wasn't a consecutive 20 minutes but it's still better than a 2016 Presidential Debate.

12. Ate a chocolate bar.

I found leftover smores supplies and I decided it would be a better idea than watching Hillary smile at Trump saying how much more he respects women than the rest of us (still laughing at that).

13. Spoke to random grandparents.

Volunteering at the carnival took me back to my summer job when I worked with kids for eight weeks and spoke to their parents.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
