7 Sarcastic Takeaways From The 2016 Presidential Debate

Republicans, Democrats, and people all around the world looking for a laugh tuned into watch last nights train wreck- I mean the 2016 Presidential Debate. The debate was split into three sections: Hillary's awkward smile, Donald yelling random words, and Lester who? If you don't understand what I'm referencing, than you probably didn't watch the debate- but have no fear because you really didn't miss much. Behind all the yelling, and Lester going missing, here are 7 things I learned watching the debate:

1. It was Hillary Clinton's granddaughters 2nd Birthday.


In the opening question, Lester asks Hillary "Secretary Clinton, why are you a better choice than your opponent to create the kinds of jobs that will put more money into the pockets of American works?" (Washington Post) Clinton responded by telling us it was her granddaughters 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday, Charlotte.

2. Donald Trump thinks Hillary is "wrong"



If you watched the debate, Donald Trump said the word "wrong" more times than Rihanna says "diamonds" in her song "Diamonds." Hillary could say her name was Hillary, and Donald would respond "wrong." Hillary
said "I have a feeling by the end of the night, I'm going to be blamed for everything." Donald Trumps response: "Why not?"

3. The best way to answer a question is to not answer the question at all



From now on, I will answer my test questions exactly how the candidates answered them: by not answering them at all. Each candidate rather than answering the question that was asked either danced around the question and threw facts about our jobs or debt, OR fired an insult at each other.

4. Donald Trump has good temperament and stamina


I'm just gonna leave this here.

5. Hillary's dad was a hardworking American drape maker



Looking for a drape? Look no further than Hugh Rodham, Hillary Clinton's dad. Hilary mentions how proud she is of her dad- so proud, she even wore one of his original pieces during the debate!

6. Lester Holt went missing after the introduction



Lester, who? Though Lester Holt was the moderator, he never actually got a chance to speak. He was told to "wait," "hold on," and bossed around by both candidates throughout the entire debate. My opinion? He ran off to a local bar and asked for their strongest mixed drink.

7. The real winner here, was Harambe.



This was obviously a sarcastic take-away from watching the debate. Whether you're Republican or Democrat, or perhaps you don't know where you fall, each candidate has potential to be a great president. Just kidding, Harambe 2016.

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.
