I am a 19 year old extremely uninformed voters who, in all honesty, debated not even voting tomorrow. Why? You might ask...1. It takes time and effort to get to my polling place and 2. I didn't feel like I would be able to make a good decision on who to vote for...the President is kind of a big deal! Basically I came to the realization that I was being a HUGE brat about the whole situation!! Dang.
I made the mistake of complaining about the "hassle" of voting while sitting between the most political kid I know and a future Marine officer...let me just tell you never to do that. After a short berating I realized how stupid not voting was. Thousands upon thousands of people; men, women, soldiers, civilians have all gone through hell through out history just so that weird little 19 year old me could drive to a church on Prices Fork Road to send in my vote. Dangggg. It's really intense when you think about how much work has gone into that short drive tomorrow.
So tonight I took some time, looked up platforms, and got as educated as one can the night before and election, and got stoked to be able to vote for the President for the first time. Cause it is a very big and awesome deal.
Take the time tomorrow to go out and have your voice heard!
xoxo,
Abby
