It’s a big deal. Every year it always is and to be honest, I’ve never really disagreed with the selection chosen by TIME. They certainly know what they’re doing over there. However, this year it is awfully considerate of them to let us all have a say. This year, TIME will let us have a “People’s Choice” winner and the candidates range from pop culture icons in 2012 to artists to newsmakers and many others. So get voting! You have until Dec. 14 to voice your opinion and students – I know you’ve got those finals coming up so how is this for the perfect time waster?

I always have your back.
