Debate Round 2

The Unintended 90 Minute Cafeteria Food Fight

Debate Round 2

Roughly two hours before the second Presidential Debate, Donald Trump held a press conference with four women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. If that wasn't a warning sign from two hours out, the entire second debate between Trump and Clinton made myself question why we even still have these events. Out of the gate Trump came up to bat swinging, quickly brushing off his hot mic comments earlier in the past week that were leaked with him bragging to Billy Bush about grabbing a women's genitals.

With any questions they threw at him about this scandal Trump took huge swings straight at Clinton. Specifically saying if he enters the oval office he will attempt to throw her in jail. Many people watching and on social media thought this was somehow funny. Yes because throwing your political opponent in jail is funny. No. Dictators throw their political opponents in jail. This was nothing less than a discrace.

As the debate moved along it seemed like Clinton gave less time rebutting Trump's lies and tried to do something different. Present the case she had actual common sense and a brain on stage. She presented facts where Trump continued to spew lies. Lies as such saying Hillary Clinton has somehow been involved helping Isis throughout her entire political career. As I watched and sat through this debate one thing stuck out to me. The moderators, and almost none of the audience members asked any questions relating to Climate Change.

When it comes to our environment, policies surrounding our sustainability as a country and planet, Hillary only mentioned Climate Change once as to say she simply believed in it while Trump still thinks it's a hoax perpetrated by China. The internet still seemed to believe overall Hillary won the second debate, not by as much of a margin as a the first but Trump seemed more calm not including the obsessive sniffles. After the debate polls came out immediately the next day showing Hillary leading with 14 point spreads between the both of them head to head.

Hillary Clinton will be the 45th President of the United States.She has the temperament, experience, and at this point in the race she is the only person fit to be commander in Chief. Republicans, Democrats, people with brains know this is going to happen. She took the first debate by storm, tied with Ken Bone in the second debate, and most definitely will win the third. You can love Hillary or hate her, but Donald Trump simply will not win.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
