First Time Voter!

I must say it was a pretty exciting day. Today was my first time going into a voting booth, and what more exciting time to cast my first vote than the most pivotal election in years! Here are a few cool things about my experience.

1) So Many Buttons!
There must have been 50 buttons when you go into the booth! It was much different than I expected. I expected to see two casino like levers, and that would be that! It was much more intimidating than that... Of course I figured it would be best if I didn't mess with anyone's numbers by voting for people I didn't know, so I just hit the president button and hit CAST MY VOTE. That button is cool... it makes a beep noise and everything goes black... you feel really important!

2) The Anger Will Subside
I have never seen such mean, close minded and ignorant people in my whole life as I have these past couple weeks. People have constantly been trying to prove why they are the only right people and put everyone else down. How people have been acting lately is disgusting, they should be ashamed. It was nice to get the vote done with so we can move on with our lives.

3) Blast From the Past
I got to vote at my old Catholic grade school, St. Eleanors. I went there from kindergarten to fourth grade and havn't really been back since. I didn't really have a choice today though if I wanted to vote I remember it being so much bigger when I was 10!

4) Young Voters
When I walked in the building there were lots of more aged individuals. I was a little bummed because I expected lots of young voters to be coming out. I kid you not, by the time I left the building there were probably 100 college kids in line. It was cool seeing people who care about their future. Everyone on TV will say that the college students don't matter in this election because they will end up just sleeping in instead of voting anyway. Well, it was nice to see that proven wrong!

So yes, exciting day. Everyone get out and vote!
