    "High school students who turned 18 already." Oh boy, that's an easily overlooked one. As a senior during the 2016 democratic primary, my govt teacher had a FIELD DAY with his curriculum and urged us all to register to vote for the coming election. He hounded me so hard to register. He was pretty chill otherwise. I remember on the day of the final, he had the class discuss the sociopolitical implications of Harambe getting shot because it had just happened. Wild memory.
