Less Than One Week

I have been waiting for Election Day to come for a long time! It is one of my favorite nights of the year. Now that may sound pretty nerdy, but seriously, it's like reality TV being played out...and I get a vote in it! This election has focused a lot on younger voters. If you're 18 or older, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to get out and vote! Our country is in such a unique situation right now, and we as American citizens have the opportunity to have our voices heard. Whomever you support, get out and make your voice heard!

I was planning on watching about five different news stations with a bunch of my friends on Election Day night, but I just found out yesterday that St. Thomas is sending five student journalists to each party's headquarters here on Election Night to cover the election...and...I'm going to be covering the DFL party! I'll get to hear speeches, bump elbows with other Twin Cities media, and basically cover the biggest story of the year! Perhaps the greatest part, I get a sweet press pass that I have to wear around my neck! Dorky? Maybe. Exciting? TOTALLY!

Well that's about all I know, better get back to work. Have a great last week of listening and watching campaign ads!
