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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
