These GIFs Are All Of Us On Election Day

by Megan Grant

Election Day is different for all of us. For someone of us, it's like Christmas morning. For others, it's the emotional equivalent of getting your taxes done. I myself go through a wide range of feelings, perfectly summed up by these GIFs that are me on Election Day — and, honestly, I'm willing to bet that I'm not alone here. I'm always teetering somewhere between the points of delirious excitement and weeping into a ball of used tissues. It's an important day that will have a profound and permanent impact on the future of our country and everyone living in it (and even those not living in it). It's understandable if we're all emotional hot messes right now.

And I think it goes without saying that this year is even more monumental — one that'll definitely go down in the history books under the title, "WTF Just Happened?" It's not that other presidential elections don't measure up to this one; they were all special in their own rights, too. But with potentially our first woman president on the ballot, along with that other guy, I think we're all waiting on the edge of our seats for this to finally end and determine the new leader of our country.

In the meantime, if you need me, I'll be pacing the kitchen, chewing on my cuticles and probably looking like one of these GIFs:

Me When I First Wake Up In The Morning

It's Election Day. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.

Me Right After

This is typically me after I remember that there are still people who like Trump. (I still love you guys.)

Me After I Check Facebook

I can't wait for this to be over so I can stop unfollowing all of my friends.

Me Preparing My Coffee

Oh. Um... *ahem* I said coffee.

Me Preparing My Coffee

There we go.

Me At Work All Day

The suspense is unbearable.

Me When Someone Says That Our Opinions Don't Really Matter

I'll just leave this right here.

Me Waiting In Line To Vote

Could this move any slower?

Me At The Voting Booth

Can't. Hold. It. In. Anymore.

Me When Someone Claims They Don't Care About Who Wins

Where can I vomit?

Me Watching The News For Constant Updates

Nobody talk. Nobody move. Nobody breathe. Silence, everyone.

Me When Someone Can't Spell A Candidate's Name Correctly

If you're going to pick a Facebook fight with someone, at least get this one detail right.

Me When It's Finally Over

Or Possibly This

Or Maybe This

We'll find out soon enough. Stay tuned.
