Doomed if we do, doomed if we don't.

Why We're Doomed This Election

This election has definitely been one for the books. It is to the point now where a lot of people have the mindset of 'either or, we are screwed.' In the end, it is important that everyone in america is well-informed and votes to the best of their knowledge. Everyone has there own opinions and that is ok, but do not vote based on facts that will not benefit out country as a whole.

Donald Trump is the Republican nominee being that he is the only one left. The same guy who Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, recently called a " textbook definition of a racist comment" is in the running to be the next president of the United States ... Interesting.

Paul Ryan made this remark after Donald Trump accused the judge for his recent case in federal court of being impartial because of his Mexican heritage. Trump claims that due to his campaign on illegal immigration, having a judge with a Mexican heritage has led to a unfair trial.

Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel does not believe that "one's heritage makes them incapable of being impartial," he told CNN.

This is just another comment and stunt carried out by Donald Trumps racist agenda.I am not saying Hillary Clinton is innocent either. How both of these candidates made it this far scares me for americans.

Clinton is not a law abiding citizen nor is she honest. We have all known about the email scandal she has been involve with yet she is still a highly possible person to become our next president. We are still asking ourselves questions like "Why did she delete 30,000 emails from her internet service? Is she trying to hide even more from us? Did she send classified emails through a non-government sponsored server? Is it illegal to conduct a private email account for work purposed as the Secretary of State?" So many questions that are huge factors when deciding on who will be the next president of our country.

Hillary Clinton will most likely be the Democrat nominee. It will be officially announced in July. Bernie Sanders is not ready to accept the fact that it is most likely over for him so he'll just have to wait it out.

These are just one of the cons and they both have many many pros as well. Make sure to educate yourself before making a decision such as contributing to one of the most powerful people in the world!

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
