The 10 Funniest Tweets That Sum Up The Presidential Debate

Twitter was the real winner last night.

Like most of my fellow Americans, I spent my Monday night sitting in my bedroom watching the drama unfold of the first presidential debate, and man was it entertaining. With the facial expressions, the body language, the insults, poor Lester Holt never getting the chance to talk and so much more... it was entertaining. You had live fact checking, insults, eye rolls, Trump duck lips, China and Mexico being mentioned every five seconds, Lester Holt attempting to tell Clinton and Trump they are going over their time limit and being ignored, and so much more crazy scenarios.

But, there was something that was even more entertaining than those two crazies on stage. I know what you're thinking: How on Earth could anything have been more entertaining than that? Well, that thing was Twitter. On Twitter, there were multiple hashtags about the debate. A few of them that ended up becoming trending topics, some even having cute little logos beside them were "#debatenight" as well as "#debate2016" and "#debates." Some not trending but very note-worthy were "#SaveLester" and "#SaveLesterHolt." If you didn't watch, Lester Holt was the poor, ignored moderator of the debate tonight. Each of these topics, whether trending or not, were full of funny and creative tweets that were critiquing each candidate.

After scrolling through all of these topics, I found that some of the things said were true Internet gold that needed to be put on a pedestal and shown to the rest of the world, especially to fellow voters. So, I decided to share some of the funniest ones on the web tonight. These tweets range from celebrities, comedians, YouTubers, police officers, and regular people like you and me. Thank you Internet, you once again add some comic relief to this election year.

1. On computer knowledge


2. On Hillary's confidence


3. When you remember what's really going on


4. On treating Trump's sickness like Hillary's

They've already created a whole Twitter for it...


5. On Lester Holt



6. On looking into other options



7. On trying to get the police to fix this


8. On Trump's Policies


9. Ummm??


10. On the future

Although the debate may have scared you for the future, I hope after watching that it has encouraged you to register to vote and actually go out and vote. Or as Hillary would say... Pokemon Go to the polls! If you missed tonight's debate there are two more, as well as a Vice Presidential Debate, but you should definitely look up clips on the internet to stay informed. The best voter is an informed voter.

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.
