4 Times Hillary Clinton Slayed During the Presidential Debate
scoop

I waited over 24 hours to watch the first presidential debate that aired this past Monday night. Following this historic race for the White House while studying abroad has been... interesting to say the least. Luckily, I am living and studying in a country that is concerned with staying up to date on the action that is happening in the United States. On Tuesday, after trying to avoid spoilers, memes and lengthy Facebook fights, I was able to watch the debate for myself.

For those of you who didn't already know (not even sure how that is possible because I take my support of Hillz very seriously) I'm a REALLY. BIG. HILLARY. SUPPORTER. I have the bumper sticker, I repost the articles, I defend her to anyone and everyone. I didn't think I could fangirl any harder, and then she kicked a** at the debate.

There were so many classic one-liners and comebacks, but here are my top four favorites from the evening:

1. “A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes.”

2. “As soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease fire… Or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina.”

3. “Oh Donald I know you live in your own reality, but that is not the facts…”

4. "I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. You know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that's a good thing."

I find it astonishing that there can be any argument concerning who won this debate. Clinton remained calm, cool and collected while firing off classic comebacks one after another, clearly flustering her already struggling opponent. If you weren't before, I sure hope Hillary Clinton's amazing performance at the debate (or my amazing political reporting) inspired you to shout #ImWithHer from the rooftops!

Be sure to tune in to the next presidential debate Sunday, October 9 and the vice-president debate Tuesday, October 4. Get informed, get voting.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
