Say what?

I meant to write about this the day I did it, but I've been busy with watching The Biggest Loser and what not. I voted in my FIRST Presidential election last week. I early vote because the genius that made up our voting districts decides to send me across a major highway 15 miles from my house, when there is two, 2, TWO! places to vote not three miles from my house, ON THE SAME ROAD! Anyways, so a friend of mine and I early voted. I am 21 years old, and this was my first major election to vote in! It was quite exciting. I voted the day early voting started. I watched the debates, and countless stories on Fox news, and I hope this is going to be a tighter election than what they are predicting. I had a very nice conversation with the lady in front of me in line, she had to be at least 75 and she said she was so glad to see "you young people" out voting. She said she had voted in most elections since she was able to vote. So, I guess my message is GO VOTE! Age does not matter, if you are registered VOTE. Don't complain about who gets elected if you do not. This is one of the most dramatic presidential elections because of what our country has been through in the past few years. It's a very simple thing that can persuade your future more than you think.

Good for you, girl! Nicely said. I always do the early voting--it's the way to go!
