iReport —

For the last few months, a lot of college students like me added exra hours to our nights, door-knocked, phonebanked, and got out the vote. Everyone said that historically, young people don't vote. That may have been true, but this year, we made our own history. We've all been walking around with giant grins on our faces since the election, and I have a feeling that the kind of excitement we felt doen't just disappear- the youth vote is here to stay!
