My fellow students… What the heck are you doing!!!?
What aren’t we voting?
This election was predicted to see the largest turnout of our young demographic ever. The 35-and-under voters were expected to come out in record numbers and single-handedly decide the entire election.
We are numerous, and we are idealistic.
Unfortunately, we are also lazy, preoccupied, and apathetic toward waiting in line.
This key demographic of voters under 35 was expected to influence the election in ways never before seen. But this very demographic, to which we belong, has had the weakest turnout of all in this election so far.
But it is not too late.
Election Day is not until Tuesday, and one can only hope that students are approaching voting in much the same way they do exams: putting it off until the last possible minute.
I strongly urge each and every patriotic student to wake up first thing Tuesday morning and head straight to their local voting centers to perform their civic duties.
I know the lines are long, and you have other urgent matters to attend to, but (sacreligious as it might be to say) some things are more important than your fraternity date parties.
So go vote! Bring your friends, it’ll be fun.
And nothing could be more important.
