Should I invest in the market right now?

So I have ~8-10k that I was going to throw into the market this fall, however with the election approaching and everyone thinking there would be a correction I held off. Well.... stocks just keep going up. I know you shouldnt try to time the market as its near impossible, but I also don't want to invest when it's at its peak. What do you guys suggest? I'm a recent graduate- I have no debt and already have my emergency fund stashed away.
