Your Debate Night Drinking Game

A coping strategy for making it through this election season without losing it.

Your Debate Night Drinking Game
Conservative Tribune

By this point, we're all aware that this year's presidential election season is both atypical and painful to observe. The American public is all but bombarded by Donald and Hillary's numerous scandals and controversies on a daily basis, and for many, political discussion has boiled down to an endless conversation about who's the lesser of the two evils. (For those of you who don't typically read my articles, fair warning: #I'mWithHer.)

So what can you do when you're disillusioned with the state of the race for the White House, the collective good judgment of the American people or the media coverage that has turned this into little more than a horse race? You don't want to avoid the media updates entirely, but the desperation you feel when seeing Trump go at it again just has to stop.

Enter the 2016 Presidential Debate Drinking Game. Inspired by this work of art, here's a quick list of the phrases and events that you know are going to come up on Sunday night.

Donald "That's Called Business, By The Way" Trump

- He mentions his taxes.

- He interrupts Hillary Clinton.

- He complains about the rigged system that just won't let him win.

- He's going to bring jobs back.

- He backtracks on something you know he's said before.

- He absolutely does not answer the damn question.

Hillary "Shimmy Your Way To The White House" Clinton

- She stares into the camera like she's on "The Office."

- She piggybacks on Obama's achievements.

- She's clearly appealing to some minority group.

- She cracks a joke that falls flat.

- She smiles condescendingly while Trump hurts himself.


You might be wondering why this list of drinking events is so short, but please keep in mind that many of these things may happen tens of times over the course of the 90-minute debate on Sunday night at 9 EST. (Drink responsibly, friends.)

One last note: since we obviously shouldn't condone underage drinking, I'll be eagerly watching C-SPAN in anticipation tomorrow, with little shot glasses and chocolate milk lined up. I highly encourage you to do the same.

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.
