4 Times Hillary Clinton Slayed During the Presidential Debate
scoop

I waited over 24 hours to watch the first presidential debate that aired this past Monday night. Following this historic race for the White House while studying abroad has been... interesting to say the least. Luckily, I am living and studying in a country that is concerned with staying up to date on the action that is happening in the United States. On Tuesday, after trying to avoid spoilers, memes and lengthy Facebook fights, I was able to watch the debate for myself.

For those of you who didn't already know (not even sure how that is possible because I take my support of Hillz very seriously) I'm a REALLY. BIG. HILLARY. SUPPORTER. I have the bumper sticker, I repost the articles, I defend her to anyone and everyone. I didn't think I could fangirl any harder, and then she kicked a** at the debate.

There were so many classic one-liners and comebacks, but here are my top four favorites from the evening:

1. “A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes.”

2. “As soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease fire… Or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina.”

3. “Oh Donald I know you live in your own reality, but that is not the facts…”

4. "I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. You know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that's a good thing."

I find it astonishing that there can be any argument concerning who won this debate. Clinton remained calm, cool and collected while firing off classic comebacks one after another, clearly flustering her already struggling opponent. If you weren't before, I sure hope Hillary Clinton's amazing performance at the debate (or my amazing political reporting) inspired you to shout #ImWithHer from the rooftops!

Be sure to tune in to the next presidential debate Sunday, October 9 and the vice-president debate Tuesday, October 4. Get informed, get voting.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
