20 Things That Are Actually Harder To Do Than Going Out And Voting

In This Article:

November 6th is one of the most important days of the year: election day. No matter who you're voting for, what you're voting on, and why you choose this way or that, your vote in this upcoming election is critical. Yet young people continue to be the least present at the booth.

Although everyone says they're going to vote, there's plenty of reasons that people come up with to get out of voting: it's too hard, the line is too long, I have work, I have class, or I don't have a ride. Well, it only takes about 15 mins to actually stand on line and vote and if that's too long still, you're just lazy. In most states and schools, election day is an excusable absence. Plus, even Uber is offering discounted rides to polling places. So, what's the excuse? It's too hard?

We have the power to sway this midterm election, especially young people. It's not hard to get yourself to a polling place and make your voice heard. But, if you truly believe that it's too much effort to go out and vote, take a look at the things that are actually harder than going to the polling booth and casting your vote.

1. Untangling headphones

2. The Rainbow Road in "Mario Kart"

3. Naming all 50 states

4. ... And their capitals

5. Mondays

6. Getting out of bed on your day off

7. Getting a full night's sleep

8. Keeping up on a diet

9. Actually going to the gym and working out

10. Figuring out your password after you've forgotten it

11. Knitting a sweater

12. Finding the perfect outfit

13. Budgeting for Christmas gifts

14. Running even half a marathon

15. Having your name spelled right on your Starbucks order

16. Baking cookies perfectly

17. Building a model airplane

18. Trying to get concert tickets

19. Avoiding "Games of Thrones" spoilers

20. Parallel parking

Not too hard to get out and vote now is it?

Get to the polls November 6th and let your voice be heard!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
