VP Joe Biden Makes Surprise Visit To UD On Election Day
UDel.edu

It's Election Day! AKA the day that everyone goes crazy with their "I voted!" sticker selfies, wake up early to vote, stay off of social media (or voice hella opinions on social media) and the day that Vice President Joe Biden made a surprise guest appearance at University of Delaware.

That's right!!!

Right on Main Street

At everyone's favorite Coffee Shop, Brew Haha!

Biden shared some smiles with many of UD's students this morning in his short, yet very sweet visit. After casting his vote, he came to order some coffee with his two granddaughters!!


He was very open to taking more selfies with students and interacting with the crowd after he ordered. After sitting and munching on a delicious egg and cheese toasted plain bagel, Biden went out into the open area above Brew Haha! and the entrance to Main Street to continue taking pictures and talk to the crowd.

As students and community members crowded on the stairs and outside on Main Street, we realized we all had one thing in common: UD pride.

The cheering started at a group picture taken of many students and most certainly did not stop after that. He encouraged UD students to make sure that they "come back after they graduate"

He ended his sweet visit back on campus with an apology to UD students that were all gathered in a frenzy to meet their favorite alum:

"I'm really sorry, but I've got a plane to catch."

I think a part of us all wanted to cry honestly.

This tweet from UD's Social Media Ambassador @BlueHenVirginia sums it all up for us...


As he left, the cheering only got louder with Blue Hen Pride chanting "Joe."

A surprise visit from our favorite started the day with excitement for tonight as we all watch and wait patiently for the results to unfold.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
