A Blog By Any Other Name and Election Day

Ok so this blog is going to be a two-fold blog. The first part is going to be the regular November themed blog and then the second part is going to be a little bit of a twist.

Today I am thankful for the privilege that I have as an American citizen to vote. There are so many people in our country who do not take advantage of the opportunity to vote and it is really, really sad. Today is election day, but it is not just any election day. Today is the very first Presidential election that 1) I got to vote in and 2) Will truly change America as we know it.
On my college campus there have been multiple politically active student groups who have taken the initiative to organize different parties to help keep the students informed about this presidential race. Every presidential debate that was on TV was played right here on campus. Tonight they are throwing the biggest election night party ever on campus. The college's TV station and radio station are covering and broadcasting every second of the election results this evening and students will enjoy the opportunity to stay up to see the final results.
It is so exciting. Sitting in my dorm waiting for the festivities to begin I remember back to when I was younger and my very politically active mother would drag my brother and I to every single event she could. We always watched the President's speeches, the election results for every election, and we were used to sitting in a rented space for hours waiting for people to come in and get signs for their yard during an election season. Those were the times that I learned everything I know about politics...but enough reminiscing.
 I am so thrilled to be able to exercise the privilege to vote for my President. So GET OUT AND VOTE! It's important! Your vote really does count, it can make a huge difference! Take advantage of the freedom that we have as Americans. God Bless America!

The second part of this blog is actually for a contest. I will write a whole blog post about this later, but to condense the story for now I will put it this way...
I am not a Nursing major anymore. I know...I know...you're probably thinking "How sad, why?" Well you'll just have to keep reading my blog to find out that one. Anyway...
I obviously need a new title for my blog.
I am now an Elementary Eduction major.
I love the phrase 'Keep Calm and..." but I appreciate any really creative input.
I am going to give this about a week and half, so two blog posts from now to announce the winner. You can e-mail me, comment on Facebook, or comment right on the blog. I will have some people help me vote and yes, the winner will get a prize, yaya for prizes :) ! So have fun, be creative, and let me see what you've got.
