pick your poison

I can't tell you how many times Ive heard the phrase "we live in interesting times" in the past few weeks. I mean, we are. These two presidential candidates are definitely very... unique, for lack of a better term. I won't be able to vote the year. But, a lot of people a tad older than me will be able to. Seniors this year have a lot on their mind. We have been taught a lot of things up to this point by our teachers and parents. We now have to take all of this and decide what WE truly believe in, whether it matches up with what we've been taught or not. I think that the lean towards liberalism with people around my age has to do with justice/equality and money. Us young people are really in to social media. We see a lot of injustice and people lashing out over gender equality, race, etc. We want peace in our world. We also have to deal with financial issues. College is coming up and we are all starting to plan ahead for the future. Money is our central focus when it comes student loans, our future job, taxes, etc. Its a lot to think about. This next presidential candidate will play a role in all of these things that will shape our future.
