7 Sarcastic Takeaways From The 2016 Presidential Debate

Republicans, Democrats, and people all around the world looking for a laugh tuned into watch last nights train wreck- I mean the 2016 Presidential Debate. The debate was split into three sections: Hillary's awkward smile, Donald yelling random words, and Lester who? If you don't understand what I'm referencing, than you probably didn't watch the debate- but have no fear because you really didn't miss much. Behind all the yelling, and Lester going missing, here are 7 things I learned watching the debate:

1. It was Hillary Clinton's granddaughters 2nd Birthday.


In the opening question, Lester asks Hillary "Secretary Clinton, why are you a better choice than your opponent to create the kinds of jobs that will put more money into the pockets of American works?" (Washington Post) Clinton responded by telling us it was her granddaughters 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday, Charlotte.

2. Donald Trump thinks Hillary is "wrong"



If you watched the debate, Donald Trump said the word "wrong" more times than Rihanna says "diamonds" in her song "Diamonds." Hillary could say her name was Hillary, and Donald would respond "wrong." Hillary
said "I have a feeling by the end of the night, I'm going to be blamed for everything." Donald Trumps response: "Why not?"

3. The best way to answer a question is to not answer the question at all



From now on, I will answer my test questions exactly how the candidates answered them: by not answering them at all. Each candidate rather than answering the question that was asked either danced around the question and threw facts about our jobs or debt, OR fired an insult at each other.

4. Donald Trump has good temperament and stamina


I'm just gonna leave this here.

5. Hillary's dad was a hardworking American drape maker



Looking for a drape? Look no further than Hugh Rodham, Hillary Clinton's dad. Hilary mentions how proud she is of her dad- so proud, she even wore one of his original pieces during the debate!

6. Lester Holt went missing after the introduction



Lester, who? Though Lester Holt was the moderator, he never actually got a chance to speak. He was told to "wait," "hold on," and bossed around by both candidates throughout the entire debate. My opinion? He ran off to a local bar and asked for their strongest mixed drink.

7. The real winner here, was Harambe.



This was obviously a sarcastic take-away from watching the debate. Whether you're Republican or Democrat, or perhaps you don't know where you fall, each candidate has potential to be a great president. Just kidding, Harambe 2016.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
