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.

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.
