SURRRRRIOUSLY.

Back in the day, I loved me some extracurricular activities (likely to help distract from my lack of ability to play team sports) and loved to run for all kinds of "offices"...some Student Council (shoutout to Brunswick High), some Dorm Council (shoutout to Grace Hall), a lot of Student Government Association (shoutout to Middle Georgia College and Tech), some Greek life (shoutout to LCA beaus), and more Clubs With Forty-Five-Minute Afternoon Meetings Where Pizza Will Be Served than I can remember (shoutout to mandatory retreats) .

I won some and lost some, but the most awesome part of the process was trying to get students to roll up to the table in the cafeteria or the booths outside the Student Union and VOTE. I made buttons out of foam core board in 8th grade and passed them out at Jane Macon (I lost that one). I made t-shirts using Avery Iron-On labels at Tech (got that one - turns out they were the first t-shirts I ever designed). I spraypainted bedsheets and hung them in trees around the campus of Middle Georgia College (got that one because I was the only one who ran). For some reason, it seemed so difficult to get people to remember to vote. Or to convince them that their vote would make a difference.

Seems like that'd be a silly concern now, with us all being grows up now.

PLEASE GO VOTE. That "I Voted" sticker is the coolest thing you can wear tomorrow. It goes with everything. Don't be the kid on the block who isn't rocking the fresh sticker.

Remind everyone. Punch a chad. Hug The Chad.

PS. The slogan I stuck with from 8th grade through college was:
"While you're on the potty, think about voting for Scotty"
I'd hang signs on restroom doors (oddly enough, a very campaign-free area on campus). Not sure if it hurt me or helped me, but I figured I owed you the truth.
