Commentary

1) SGA candidates using incentives to gain their vote.

2) Fraternities and sororities acting like they are above anyone, when in reality they are paying for their friends.

3) Other students getting mad at skaters because we sometimes get in the way of them, but by the time they can say anything we are already 20 feet in front of them.

I am feel very strongly about the SGA candidates using incentives to gain votes. For example, I had a candidate from "BAMF" try to persuade me with free pizza to gain their vote. Another candidate offered me a free stress ball if I would cast a vote for them. It sickens me that they have to stoop so low to gain a vote, when we should be placing our votes based on what their beliefs are and how they would like to change the policies at UCF. In the end, unfortunately, most college students would rather get free pizza and could care less about what the candidates stand for. Often, these candidates are the ones who end up getting elected and they are most likely not the most qualified people for the job. In return, UCF gains no actual benefits from electing these people and the student body loses an opportunity to actually change the school for the better. In conclusion, I would like to see an unbiased election take place and see who wins. My guess would be the people with the best policy reforms would get the winning ticket.
