It's understandable that you may not like either of the candidates, but you should still vote. Not only is voting an important part of our political system, but if you don't vote, the candidate you hate the most could win. But if those two reasons aren't enough to convince you to vote, here's some more.

1. Participation

Do it for the insta/snapchat/twit pic. Most people like to feel cool, or like they participated/made an effort, so do it so you're not the only one who didn't. Or hey, do it so you're the only one who did and you can make everyone else feel like shit.

2. Stickers

Just because I'm almost 20 years old doesn't mean I love stickers any less. So do it for the free sticker, because God knows you're literally too poor to go to Wal-Mart and buy them.

3. Social Justice and Stuff

Call me crazy, but I'm one of those people who actually believes that voting and participating in government makes a difference. By voting, we show the government that we care about the issues and our community.

4. You feel "adult-y"

Listen, I may be in college, but there are very few times a day, or even a week, hell, a month, where I feel like an actual adult. But voting? Yeah, voting is going to be one of those times.

5. Vote because you're happy it's over

Be happy that we no longer have to watch Donald Trump make an even bigger fool of himself on national tv while spewing lie to the American public. Now we cant focus on the more important issues of what's going on with the Kardashians or obsessing over whatever male celeb went shirtless in his new movie. You know, the stuff that matters.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
