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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
