Describe this election in three words.
Crazy, serious, and important.
Why those three?
Well, we have two main people that nobody wants to vote for, basically. And it’s really crazy because one is a television person and the other is called a liar and nobody knows who to vote for or what to do and it’s just really crazy. [The election is] important because for college students, we need as much money as we can get. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just so crazy.
How do you feel about this election?
It’s, uh, interesting
Describe it in three words.
Crazy, because a lot of stuff is being said about both candidates, close, because it could go either way right now, and interesting.
Are you excited for it to be over?
Yes, very. I’m tired of seeing advertisements for it everywhere. I’m ready for things to go back to normal.
How do you feel about this election?
I’m a little indifferent. I mean, I’ve seen so many different viewpoints and trying to untangle all of them has kind of been exhausting. I’m going to delve deeper into both [sides] and make a decision, but as of right now, I stay pretty busy with all of these classes.

Sara: We talk about it sometimes, but I think overall, I’m sick and tired of the media coverage. I’m tired of [the election] blowing up my Facebook and my Twitter and everywhere I look. And I’m honestly kind of scared for tomorrow.
Hannah: Yeah. I’m petrified.
