10 Things More Entertaining Than Watching The Presidential Debate

Being educated about the election is important, and I'm pretty sure most people were actually excited to watch the debate last Monday night. The media made the debate out to be as big as the Superbowl. However, it was an extreme disappointed basically reminding everyone that we probably shouldn't vote for either of these candidates. At least that was the argument they were making on stage for 90 minutes. Since we will never get that 90 minutes of depressing time back I figured we could at least imagine the more entertaining things we could have been doing.


1. Binge watching "Law and Order"

This country does need to restore Law and Order, thankfully it's all on Netflix and can be binge-watched at any time.

2. Doing Homework

Doing homework is actually slightly less depressing than this election.

3. Reading a good book

Who knows where the country will be in a couple years, we better start studying up on the hunger games now.

4. Memorizing your contacts

It would definitely be a better use of 90 minutes, you never know what will happen.

5. Watching Kanye West doing literally anything.

Side note if you need a good laugh google Kanye West funny moments. #Kanyeforpresident2020??

6. Praying for our poor country

I'm 100% serious about this one. Say your prayers people.

7. Reading live tweets about the debate

"CNN on how to watch the debate. I'll be watching it while drinking whiskey, my arms wrapped me, rocking back n forth in the corner, scared." -@ErinFoley

"All things aside, congrats to these two olds for not peeing for 90 minutes" -@RyanStegman

"this is the longest SNL cold open I've ever seen" -@SarahHalusha

8. Watching "Dancing With The Stars", "The Voice", or any other show that got cut off early because of debate night.

The 90-second debate dance on "Dancing With the Stars" accomplished more than the actual debate.

9. Babysitting two children, kinda like Lester Holt was doing.

Not only poor man was stuck babysitting two adults, but his parents gave him the name Lester.

10. Fact checking.

No comment needed.


I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I can't wait for Tuesday to watch the two most boring vice presidential candidates battle it out in a way that would make the "Batman v Superman" fight scene look like award winning cinema.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
