A Numbered List of Thoughts About the Election
StareCat.com

In just a few short days, I could be running away from the country of my birth, sort of like Cary Grant sprinting away from this plane...


And it has left me with a few important questions.

1) Can I have a cry party if Trump wins? Does anyone want to join me? I can't provide alcohol because I'll need all my pennies to leave before January 1st, 2017, but I have an apartment and candles.


2) Will I ugly cry with relief if Clinton wins?


3) Where will I go if Trump wins?


4) Did this election cycle give me mad anxiety about the ownership of my body? (Answer: Solid fucking yes)


5) Is my depression seasonal or is it electional? Is electional a term?


6) Why am I panicking? Maybe because this guy got more media attention than any real issues did...



7) When will everyone realize that America has been consistently bettering itself? We do not want America to be as it once was! America used to burn people it thought were witches, enslave an entire race, and elected presidents that destroyed the lives of Indigenous people. America isn't great yet, but it could be. America definitely wasn't great. Stop insinuating that going back in time would make America better. It would not. Please shut up. Or as Snape would have it...



8) I just want this whole damn thing to be over with already. I feel like everyday has been a never ending marathon of a reality tv show. And I hate reality tv. I gorram hate it. Give me sci-fi or comedies any day.


9) Hopefully, there is a next time I post and it will be about meaningful things and not about this freaking election. If not, well, my sincerest of apologies for being lamer than a llama and...

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

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.
