The 2016 Presidential Candidates as Hocus Pocus Characters

With all three debates behind us, I think we deserve a good laugh this election cycle. So forget for a minute the dooming possibility of tangerine Caligula running our country and reminisce on a spooky childhood classic.


Gary Johnson- Sarah Sanderson

Much like this Sanderson sister sings to lure the children of Salem to their house, Johnson uses his siren song of simply being a third party candidate to attract disillusioned voters. Naive to the modern world and perhaps not the sharpest of the sisters, Sarah Sanderson has plenty of "Aleppo moments" throughout the film.


Hillary Clinton- Winifred Sanderson

Both are unarguably the HBIC. These leaders of the pack have no time for trivial matters, and much like Winnie quite literally shut up Billy Butcherson, HRC shut down every man who told her she couldn't reach the top. Hillary shattered the glass ceiling, Winifred shattered the Dennison's roof. Both have a rather rough history with appealing to the youths.


Jill Stein- Mary Sanderson

Perhaps the lesser known of the trio, Mary Sanderson pretty much serves only one purpose: to sniff out children. The single-issue Green Party candidate is using her campaign to promote a sustainable society. Stein isn't actually half bad at "sniffing out" children either, as many of her supporters are millennials formerly for Bernie Sanders.


Donald Trump- The Devil

I really couldn't resist on this one. A close runner-up was the iconic bully "Ice". But much like Trump, the Devil -or as the Sanderson Sisters call him, "The Master"- is kind of just in it for the ride. He played along with the witches' fantasy because he enjoyed the attention. A strong woman (the devil's wife) eventually handled the situation and ended the reckless facade.



I really hope this didn't just ruin the movie for you. In the words of President Obama: "Don't boo, vote" (unless it's Halloween, then do both).

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

winter

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.
