Thoughts on the first month of school...

[pr0n5t4r]

Looking back, it wasn't as hard as I was making it out to be. I think a lot of the problems I encountered came from adjusting to so many new things... like living alone with people I don't know, going to college with not a lot of people I'm familiar with, and expectations in class. After the first month, I've more or less smoothed out all the

Your vote matters, because you're a member of one group everyone counts on not voting: students. The number of you that don't vote is significant to swing more ridings than you'd believe.

I would have, but I had no time to check up on platforms. Maybe I did have time. But I found ways to fill that time with matters more important to me... *Shrugs*

Politics have never been important to me. I've never been interested in them. I want to be, but it's hard to force a horse to water when it clearly doesn't want to drink... right?

It's harder to force the horse to water once the water's gone. Don't give anyone an excuse for taking the water from you, because they'll take it.

I'd like to think I'm not giving anyone an excuse.

I actually debated walking into the voting station before I went to the gym to cast an uneducated vote on whoever, as the various ads more or less suggested I do around the city ("Just Vote, Dammit." Pathetic). But didn't, knowing the people who DID vote would just be pissed at people like me for voting for a random person. Especially if the hypothetical person actually won the election.

Either way, it's a lose-lose situation for apathetic voters like myself. The main point to my entry was about my life, not the fucking election. I said I didn't vote, that I was sorry, and wouldn't complain. End of story. I don't need to be scolded any further on a matter I don't currently give a fuck about.
