I Voted!!!!

I voted for the first time in my life! (I know, I know...what a crappy citizen, blah blah blah...) 

Look! This experience was totally nerve-racking! "What if I vote for the wrong thing?" "What if I make a huge mistake?" Those were the types of questions floating in my head as sweat dropped down my forehead and I chewed the crap out of my left hand nails. 

Of course it didn't help that the voting guide was printed on the same type of paper that SATs and AP exams are printed on. It brought me back to highschool memories as I was chewing the crap out of my left hand nails, hoping I fill in the right answer. (Hey old habits die hard. The voting experience was like a flashback, only what I'm filling out doesn't decide which college I go to, nor do I don the braces no more, either!)

But it's done, the envelope was sealed and dropped off at the polling site. (**side note: The polling site was located at a retirement home. Old people are so cute. They were all smiling at me with no teeth, and happy that a young person is voting.) SO I wear my red "I Voted" sticker as a badge of honor!
