Five on Friday: October 12
Happy Friday! MAP’s Five on Friday kicks off the weekend by sharing five things we loved this week. Join in with us by sharing five things you’re loving in the comments below!
{{№1: Gawking}}
Though MAP’s location in Washington, DC has experienced hot days reminiscent of summer, we haven’t forgotten it’s autumn. We’re gawking at the fall colors in Ogden Valley, Utah captured by a drone. The pastels are some kind of magic, which some people have pointed out as unrealistic — see the original footage here.
{{ №2: Quoting}}
MAP’s Steven Olikara spoke to CNN about what issues millennials care about and what informs their political ideology.
Olikara said, “I think it’s very likely that partisan identity will not be the driving force in American politics.” Instead, he hopes, politics will be “more issue focused.”
{{№3: Reading}}
The National Book Awards has been honoring excellent literature since 1950. Finalists include Lauren Groff’s fiction, Florida, Terrance Hayes’s poetry, American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin, and Elizabeth Acevedo’s young adult novel, The Poet X. Are you reading any of the finalists?
{{№4: Socializing}}
We love socializing as much as we love Pixilated’s photobooth! Look through our Facebook album for our goofy and celebratory shots from MAP’s 5 Year Celebration.
{{№5: Anticipating}}
We’re anticipating potential voters! Pop singer and millennial, Taylor Swift, encouraged fans to vote in the elections through an Instagram post this past weekend. Swift also directed fans to vote.org, which experienced heavy traffic: 24 hours later, 65,0000 people had registered to vote.
