College Students and the Election
College Students and the Election
With the presidential election at
hand, both candidates look to aim to the young generation in America as their
votes are vital to winning an election. Many students look at the election in
plenty of ways, as so many people have different thoughts and ideas.

Will Roberts, a very involved
political science major said he loves the election time of the year. “It’s
awesome to see how things work out and all the different views you get from
different people. People get so competitive and crazy over everything. I’ve
seen people end friendships and stop talking to each other due to a slight
difference in views. It’s crazy, but you’ve gotta love it”
As Zack McMahan talks about the
elections, he shows little to no interest, “I feel like my one vote is not
going to matter. There are so many people voting already and with the Electoral
College me voting for Romney in a Romney state isn’t going to make Romney win
any more than he already will have won. I just feel like people try to get too involved
and want to force their ideas and views upon you. It’s extremely annoying and
makes no sense. We all want to make a lot of money and none of us want to be in debt, but with the candidates available
I don’t think neither one of them are going to change what happens to the
country.”
In such a diverse country and
amongst college campuses where diversity is always huge, it is easy to see the
big difference in ideas and thoughts.
