Unfiltered Thoughts I Had During The First Presidential Debate

WOOO, HERE WE GO! Trump with the wild card blue tie. Bold choice. I'd comment on Hillary's outfit, but feminist Twitter would be at my door with pitchforks. ANYWAY

Trump sounds like he has a cold, and I'm not sure how long I can deal with the sniffling for. Wondering how that impacts viewer perception of him. Should be interesting.

Hillary, you hate wealthy people and Trump hates poor people, we get it.

Trump takes a long chug of water looking like a frat boy at a Kentucky Derby party.

"Trump thinks climate change is Chinese hoax." I don't have time to fact check this, but I'm laughing.

Hillary, the only thing your husband was doing in the 1990's was Lewinksy; take it down a notch.

Honestly, as much as I dislike Clinton, she's so driven that I can't help but be inspired even slightly

Things are getting heated. Trump needs to stop interrupting Clinton. The media's gonna rip him apart.

Hillary Clinton just plugged her book, and I'm honestly impressed at how shameless it was.

You can tell that Trump wants to flip out. His campaign manager slipped a Xanax into that glass of water; no doubt in my mind.

The smug looks on both parties makes me genuinely uncomfortable. Why is Rudy Giuliani not running again?

"This is Secretary Clinton's two minutes, Mr. Trump." They should honestly just let them go back and forth all night. It would be entertaining and much less rehearsed.

Trump makes an Obama golf reference. I'm dying.

Why are Trump's financial records so sought after? He's wealthy. I know Americans love to hate successful people, but just let it go.

The moderator is #TeamHillary all the way, but he can at least pretend to hide it.

Hillary RATTLED about the email comment, but the audience is loving it.

CLINTON, WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? YOU THREATENED NATIONAL SECURITY?!! Okay, I need to turn the bias down. Apologies.

Hillary trying to act like she's not stressed out about the topic of emails being raised is the face you make at a party when you see your ex talking to other girls.

Can we all just reflect on the fact that Donald Trump is legitimately the Republican nominee? Like this is real life.

"My father provided a good, middle-class life for us." A Yale-educated politician with a net worth of $31.3 million trying SO hard to be relatable.


They're talking about race, now, so this is where I sign off. I look forward to seeing the magical moments that happen during the remaining half hour. Enjoy, everyone!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
