The College of Knowledge

The College of Knowledge is none other than the astounding institute of College of Charleston, which is located in historic downtown Charleston, SC.

While it is a small school, it is in the heart of a gorgeous city full of historic architecture, including many houses and churches, and is a quick drive to many beaches and parks. The College of Charleston is a liberal arts school with a very dynamic student body (just around two-thirds female) and a competitive athletic program.
The College of Knowledge is the best college in the country. Students are fun and exciting, the women are gorgeous, the sports are successful, and you can't beat Charleston, SC.

Electoral College

A group of people who represent states, and are the ones that do the actual voting. It's also the reason why Trump got elected, despite the fact that more people voted for Hillary. The electoral college is why your vote probably doesn't matter. (still vote though it's good for you)
The electoral college is the worst and it makes me want to cry.
