Why "The Circus" Is A TV Series Documenting The Presidential Race

Needless to say, the 2016 campaign for the President of the United States has been a never-ending source of material for online comedy. From the "Bernie's Dank Memes" stash to the countless GIFs of Trump's mid-debate reactions, constructing a list of the funniest moments of the campaign has proven quite a task. However, to follow is my best effort to put such a list together. Here's to hoping politics continue to make the Internet great again.

1. When Hillary pulled a Lois in the first Democratic debate:

When asked about her suspicious connections to Wall Street, Clinton responded by saying she "supported Wall Street during 9/11. When we were attacked, where were we attacked? In lower Manhattan, where Wall Street is." Eerily similar to the episode of Family Guy where Lois Griffin runs for Mayor and wins the crowd over by randomly mentioning 9/11 out of context.

2. Watergate 2016

As a Florida native, I can attest to the fact that we Floridians survive by drinking a lot of water. I can also attest to the fact that Senator Rubio has done nothing good for the state.


3. When Ted Cruz's wife blew his cover:

Someone find out if Sigourney Weaver is safe. Immediately.

4. The back and forth of politics:

Just...whatever is going on here. Who did this? Thank you. It's like some sort of magical metronome.

5. Chillary Clinton

Remember when Hillary used vine to tell us she was "just chillin' in Cedar Rapids"?

6. Please clap

Sheesh Jeb, talk about asking for approval.

7. Sigh...

Who thought this was a good idea for a logo? Can we all agree that Jeb's campaign is like that guy from SpongeBob who's always breaking his leg? He's just trying to live.

8. Brain surgery

At least we always have Dr. Ben Carson, former neurosurgeon, to remind us of the real issues in this election. That is, when he's awake.

9. Making Snapchat great again:

Someone saw the opportunity and took it. Let's be honest, this whole post could have been Trump GIFs, but I wanted to make sure we remember there are other people running too.

10. Complete dankness:

And finally, the continuing saga of Bernie/Hillary memes. Here's a meme about memes...a memeception, if you will.

Looking forward to many more moments to capture as the circus that is American politics continues to unfold.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
