Voting works because people think it matters. To the diligent voter, having a voice in democracy is a privilege. They see voting as a form of self-expression, advocacy or even an innate citizen responsibility. They believe their vote has an effect, and for that reason, they recognize the importance of participating in and contributing to the election outcome.
Lately, across the country, there has been an increase in college students finishing their degree in more years than the traditional four. It’s probably a topic you’ve brought up with your parents, who are vehemently opposed to the idea.

Walking across campus is like the real-life version of the game Crossy Road: You have to avoid the bikers who ignore the dismount zones, not run into the squirrels darting across the walkway and attempt to not trip over the cracks in the sidewalks as you make your way across campus. It is an adventure as you face the obstacles standing between you and getting to your next class on time.
I love seeing your hairy toes peek through flip-flops in March — because that’s totally normal. I adore that you swam in Horsetooth Reservoir last week. Tears of joy seep from my eyes when you tell me your “personality is defrosting” because it’s 65 degrees outside.
