So, ironically, the day I pick to post flyers around campus to motivate people to vote happens to be the day that the official voter's registration office sends people to my campus to do exactly the same thing.
I stuck up my flyers, which had information about the Motor Voter legislation and all that, and this young woman saw me doing it. She asked me if I worked for the "voting places."
I told her "No, but there are some people in the K building right now if you want to register immediately." She went on her way to do that happily, so at least I feel like my flyer efforts weren't completely wasted.
I picked up a voter's registration form for myself. A lot of people take voting for granted. Meanwhile, I've been waiting practically all my life to vote. I want my voice to be heard. It may only be one voice out of the entire population of America, but it's my voice and there's no way it's going unheard. I'm glad I can finally register, and then I'll be able to vote in the fall presidential election.
This. Feels. Awesome.
