Wednesday 4 November 2020

Well this has been a tumultuous time for the States. And although we have a long way to go, the presidential election of 3 November is drastically important to survival of so many people, and well, policies.

Being so far ahead in the time zones, I did go to sleep before the election was ‘decided’, but then of course I didn’t know just how complicated it was going to become in the next two weeks. Even as an international student, though, you have to do your part. So I completed my absentee ballot and supported from afar. This was an emotional 24 hours, let alone just being absolutely relieved by the result. I would say things are looking up for the States, but there are still so many things we have to improve on. But I do think that John Lewis and the Notorious RBG are proudly looking down at democracy. And Kamala will be a great VP. Here’s to a better future.
