Needless to say that didn't work out
Sounds like you need to get a podium and plant it in the middle of a campus outdoor hangout, crank up the mike and start campaigning. That's what the former POTUS did...worked for him ;+).
You are far too young to be talking about things not working out! Do you want to be a politician or not? Ha! I say go for it. I'd rather hear you say I ran for city council, than I wanted to be...Make the effort if it's in your DNA ;+)!!!
Best regards.
Peace.
