The 15 Thoughts We All Had During the Last Presidential Debate

Round 3, here we go.

The 15 Thoughts We All Had During the Last Presidential Debate
The Duran

Here we are, folks. As if the last year was simply just the biggest trailer in the history of ever for this, the Presidential race is winding down to its last weeks. This past week marked the third and final Presidential debate, where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton went head-to-head for Round 3 of a truly brutal battle of the wits. With all of the mudslinging and muckraking going on between these two lately, we watched with eager anticipation to see how the potential Presidents measured up. Here are 15 of the thoughts that popped into our minds while watching the political face-off:

1. Hillary's pantsuits give me nightmares.

It's easy to picture Secretary Clinton's wardrobe as one giant walk-in closet lined with pantsuits in every color of the rainbow.

2. Why is nobody fighting yet?

Okay, it's been 10 minutes and I heard no name-calling, digs, or under-the-breath mumbling and I'm actually concerned.

3. Oh, wait. There it is.

Now that's the Hillary and Donald we all know. I can't believe I was under the rouse that this debate would be civil.

4. Donald Trump has impressively cut it down to one sniffle.

It seems that Mr. Trump took his Nyquil and green tea tonight. His signature sniffles were nearly nonexistent. Keyword: nearly. Oh yes, I caught the Donald getting a little phlegm-y at the microphone this time around. Someone pass over the Vicks.

5. What's more important: taxes or emails?

It's a rough day for America when you have to ask yourself, "Who's less worse?". And even though I have a strong stance on one candidate, I am not ignorant to the faults of either nominee. That being said, this debate truly held a common theme throughout the night; hidden emails and unpaid taxes. Now, it's up to us, the voters, to decide what is more criminal.

6. Hillary laughs a little too much.

Seriously., though. It's just a strange mix of country-clubbing grandma and Bette Midler's witch in "Hocus Pocus". But more so than the sound is the uncomfortable timing of her giggles. Newsflash, Hill: cracking a joke about Trump's use of Chinese steel isn't much of a "sweet burn" to a majority of Americans who are just watching this to watch you both scream at each other. Sorry.

7. Is it me or are the issues actually being well-defined here?

Could it be? Is it truly possible that we are getting real information on the candidates' stances here? Pinch me, please.

8. What kind of dub will come out of this one?

The only thing more comical than listening to these two go back and forth behind the lecterns is the dubs that come out of each debate. Round 2's dirty dancing duet was more than enough for viewers to wonder what else the internet Gods could grace us with? I guess we'll have to find out.

9. This would be a fantastic ad for the Celebrity Apprentice.

What was the biggest lesson of the third and final debate? That The Celebrity Apprentice deserved that third Emmy. Also noted: Clinton was at the White House when we caught Osama Bin Laden, while Trump was hosting his show. Overall, this debate could've been a two-hour promo for the upcoming season.

10. Mosul is the word.

Mosul, Mosul, Mosul. As the newest hot topic, both candidates were vying for time to speak about just what to do about ISIS threats in the Middle East. However, the name was brought up so much, I'm pretty sure three kids and a dog have been christened 'Mosul" by their parents since Wednesday.

11. Wow, Hillary deserves an Oscar for that Russian hacking, "poor me, poor me" monologue.

Bravo is all I'm going to say on this one

12. Quote of the night; "such a nasty woman"

Now, this was a burn. A slow-roasting, simmering, forgetting-your-bagel-in-the-toaster-oven burn. Trump's tiny inner monologue found its way out of his mouth and has now sparked a revolution of "nasty women" supporting Hillary. Inversely, Trump supporters found this to be the greatest thing ever uttered on a debate stage. Everybody wins.

13. Did I just hear what I think I heard?

In a skillful and poetic boldness, he is calling out both illegal aliens and girls who haven't touched up their blonde dip-dye since last year. Well played, Mr. Trump.

14. Who wants to fast forward to the next Presidential election already?

Just picture 300 million people doing this, thanks.

15. Oh my goodness. One of these people will be our President in less than 3 weeks.

It looks like Halloween is going to be extended an extra few days because this is going to be something out of a freakin' nightmare.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
