I've been over 18 for 4 years, but, because of going to college out of state, this will be my first time going to an actual voting booth, and I'm really excited, like I'll be voting for the first time.
What about you guys? Any first time voters? For those who've been voting for a few years, how was your first time? And for those who live outside of the US, what is voting like where you live? |

^ What...? That's not even right. I would skip and go vote. A friend of mine did that during the primaries and his professor didn't mind.

My English teacher doesn't distinguish between excused and unexcused absences, so it won't be worth being dropped from the class if I get sick or something happens (I get three absences, period). I can get home in an hour, but then, why waste the gas? So as much as I think it's dumb that we don't get off (because I'm sure a lot of people won't have the foresight to order absentee ballots), there's probably not much point in going home for it. Oh, the first time I went to the polls I got applauded. |
