Student Elections

It's 'Voting Period' at Northumbria, and I am very happy about this. I love being handed free sweets from someone who naively thinks i'm going to vote for them, then seeing the sad look on their face when I collect a cake from another candidate opposite them. Being materialistic ,borderline selfish and a student, I of course, will be voting for the candidate who offers me the best free food. The bag of crisps nearly sold it for me, except they were salt and vinegar.. Not my style. I loved the fortune cookie which said 'Vote Chung' inside - nice touch. However, my friend's cookie said exactly the same thing and I felt a little bit screwed over. Remaining undecided on who to vote for, there is one thing i'm sure of...


I will not be voting for the annoying people who felt the need to knock on my door this afternoon, rudely interrupting my weekly dose of glee AND offering no free gift. I would have been 100% fine with a doubles lolly and a leaflet but no. Instead I am given a 5 minute awkward door conversation about why to vote for this guy who has managed somehow to make his way into a locked building and harass upto 50 students. I really hope Jehovah's witnesses don't find their way in too, or my life is about to get pretty frustrating!
