I like to think that my choice mattered. Maybe my choice personally didn't matter, as this election did not come down to a single vote, but collectively the votes of the college students that came out in record numbers did make a difference. I am a part of that group, so therefore, even if minutely, my vote did make a difference. My choice mattered. 

The rest of our choices matter in the scheme of the world to if you think about the butterfly effect. All of our choices will have a chain reaction which will set off a whole other series of choices because we have either opened a new door or limited the opportunity of someone else.  The choice we made is also the result of that chain reaction of choices. So while they matter, they don't at the same time because there are so many choices being made all at once that in the larger picture each individual choice is lost. Basically I'm talking in circles. They matter and they don't matter. Good night.
