Elections are exhausting, and not just for the candidates. The 2020 election felt like endless months of phone call bombardment, attack ads and my eyes being completely glued to the TV. The whole spectacle suddenly ended in one week. The twists and turns have me exhausted, and returning to post-election life is more complicated than one might think.

My first vivid memory of experiencing a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is from when I was about five or six years old. My mom was trying to get me ready for school and out the door, but I ended up being late to school. In fact, I wouldn’t even get out of the car when my mom dropped me off until a teacher bribed me with candy to go into the classroom. All this difficulty of getting me to school was because of a single sock.

As the nation soaks in the results of the nail biting presidential election last week, more local aspects of election night can easily be overlooked. As the eyes of the American people were glued on a map of electoral votes, state and local governments were preparing to implement new regulations.

I, as well as many others, downloaded TikTok to cure some quarantine boredom and ended up spending way too much of my free time on the app. But as I mindlessly scroll through my For You Page, I see post after post in which people joke about the pains of online school, share their stories regarding mental illness, or offer advice for dealing with emotional and academic stress. Mental health seems to be a common thread on this app. And this is a relatively new phenomenon. Social media used to be a place to post your most edited photos depicting only the best parts of your life, but TikTok is filled with a kind of honesty regarding mental health that I haven’t seen online before.

In the light of the Sharonell Fulton, et. al. v. the City of Philadelphia hearing on Nov. 4, Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation into the Supreme Court on Oct. 26, and comments made in the July 1 Beacon article “Racism, Sexism, Tokenism: My Experiences as a Woman of Color at University of Portland,” I think a few things need to be said. Back when the op-ed was published by The Beacon, I brought it to my family’s attention. It was an incredible piece that brought to light many horrible things that have been done within UP. However, at the section regarding LGBTQIA+ discrimination, a family member commented “not nice, but they can probably get away with it,” which to this day disturbs me. Religious freedom is important, but why is it touted as more important than a person’s civil liberties?

An essential part of fall is comfort foods and baked goods that taste like the season and warm you from the inside out. Trust me when I tell you, store bought baked goods only give you a fraction of autumnal experience that home baked goods do. After scouring the internet, here are three quality tested fall baking recipes (college student friendly) that give the optimal autumnal experience.

This past summer, I was fortunate enough to go on a backpacking trip in the Emigrant Wilderness area of the Sierra Nevadas in California. It was nice to get out of the house after being stuck in quarantine, not to mention the scenery was beautiful. I went fishing with my dad, and we hiked about 30 miles.
