I voted for the first time just about four hours ago. It took quite a lot of waiting–hours, in fact–but it was definitely worth the wait to submit my ballot. I’m sure that’s how many other college students felt today, knowing that their votes were making a historic difference.
Today is such an amazing day in history and I’m so glad to be watching it unfold before my eyes right now. It’s just about 11:30 PM right now and it was just announced that Barack Obama is the president-elect of the United States! For the past few hours, my roommates and I have been tracking the election results, and to us and thousands of UConn students, Obama’s landslide victory makes for a fantastic conclusion to the night.
The election results as of 11:16 PM... amazing!
Tomorrow’s looking just a bit brighter in my eyes, haha. I’m so happy and proud to have been part of this election. To all of you who also voted today, pat yourselves on the back for being actively involved in deciding our country’s future =)
