I'll admit I would have forgotten about the inauguration if Kashi hadn't cancelled class for it (Go ahead. Look upon me in disdain! Have at you!). But as I was walking down from Lamberton, Michelle and I shared the same thought: "I am really glad I watched that."
I thought Generation Y had become this lump of indifferent zombies until I witnessed the way in which we whole-heartedly participated in this election. I feel so proud to have silenced the doubters-- those who always though of us as phone-texting, manners-inept, Rock Band-playing "kids." Yes, I am a kid. And believe me, there still exists apathy and laziness among my generation. But I am a kid who just helped change the face of America. And to all you folks who say "well, your vote doesn't really count," I say: my vote counts for me. You see it's not just about having the confidence and determination to cast your vote and spread the word. It's about having these things at all. For me, at least.
I digress.
(wow, I wasn't ready for the degree of deepness that last paragraph exuded)
Now I'm all distraught.
Oh.
In the meantime, check out this bad boy. I think I shall date him.
Love,
Katie
