8 Thoughts Of The Uninformed College Student During Election Season
Total Frat Move

As election season rolls around and all every uninformed college student starts to panic as they aren't sure who they are going to vote for and many don’t even know who is running. Don't panic you're not alone. Your panic probably went a little something like this.

1. So um who is actually running?

So for the Republican Ticket there is Donald Trump, and on the Democratic ticket there is Hillary Clinton.

2. Did I read that right?

Yes you read that correctly Donald Trump is running for president.

3. The guy from the apprentice?

Yep you got that right, apparently he has some "extremely credible sources" and he doesn't care what the media writes about his campaign so long as he has a young, and beautiful, piece of ass by his side he feels he is prepared to run the country

4. Wait I saw something about him building a wall on TFM.

Yep you heard that right he would like to build a wall along the Mexican boarder, its more than just yeti butts with ‘Make America Great Again’ and a frat saying Donald Trump actually wants to “build that wall.”

5. And Hillary Clinton... I thought she was supposed to be in jail??

Yea, that’s not a thing. As the secretary of state she used a personal email server for communication regarding her position as secretary of state. So far it is unclear if she has fully cooperated with the law in regards to the incident but as of now there is no has been no punishment issued.

6. Where was I when all this happened?

Yea, all those late nights at the bar, keg stands in the fraternity house, and all those days spent hung-over might have caught up with you. You probably were doing the college life-style a little too hard but hey it happens.

7. Oh oops My b. Wont make that mistake again.

You’re probably thinking this now, but I promise procrastination is probably your thing and it goes farther than just studying. This time it was kind of a big deal because in addition to not knowing who was running you missed out on all the debates, voting in the primaries, and just time to research the different candidates that began in the presidential race.

8. Wait so who do I vote for?

Yea, cant help you here there that’s going to take some time and research. But for lack of a better word you’re a bit screwed at this point but if none of the above options sound appealing remember you always have the choice of a third party candidate. But don’t freak out too badly because you’re not alone. College is hard enough without these grown up decisions, most of us are still trying to do our laundry without turning things pink, so deciding on the next president of our nation is a bit of a big step.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
