Hillary Clinton: Corruption and Politics
cnn.com

From Benghazi to the Clinton foundation, and private emails and the silencing of her husbands rape victims, even lying about being under sniper fire when getting off a plane in Bosnia. If you want to know more about scandals through the Clinton foundation and other parts of Bill and Hillary's life just read Peter Schweizer's book "Clinton Cash" it truly opened my eyes. Hillary Clinton is nowhere close to short of controversy. In her time in politics, virtually none of it has been clean and many people think Hillary Clinton is a name synonymous with corruption. Even with countless acts of wrongdoing Hillary has somehow every time escaped prosecution.

The latest of these scandals coming to light through FBI investigations into Hillary and the use of her private email server. In this investigation, some things that Hillary did while in her position of Secretary of State came to light. The emails released showed that Hillary had directly lied about Benghazi, telling the families that the attack was because of a video, while later telling others that it was a pre planned and coordinated attack. There were then three major lies that came out after the FBI completed their investigation into Hillary and her email server. Hillary said the following three statements under oath and they were found to be false, which means Hillary Clinton directly committed perjury.

1. "Let me repeat what I have repeated for many months now, I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified." - this was proved false when FBI Director James Comey stated that 110 emails and 52 email chains contained information that was classified, with his direct quote being “That’s not true. … There was classified material emailed” this is a LIE under oath. But if this is not enough to convince, let's move on.

2. Hillary said she set up the private server so that she could limit her emails to using one device - this was proved false when the director while testifying before the House Oversight Committee said that “She used multiple devices.”

3. The third lie to point out is that Hillary stated she had returned all work related emails to those investigating. This also proved to be untrue when Director Comey “No, we found work-related emails, thousands that were not returned."

These three lies, as well as a host of others, were committed under oath. This, in fact, was perjury and is a blatant felony. So why does Hillary get off without any punishment, not having to face any consequences, while still being allowed to run for the highest office in the land? The answer is simple. Hillary Clinton is a corrupt politician, with people in the correct areas, and thus is too big to jail. These are not the only incidents that she is involved in. Her foundation that was started with her husband, and former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, is being looked at for illegally accepting money from foreign governments. The same lady also had the nerve to stand in front of our dead soldiers and tell their families that their deaths were because of a video but then emailed her family and said that the attack was an Al-Qaeda like a terrorist attack.

If you want to talk about this election and say that Trump is either overbearing or unfit for office, I will fully agree with you. I don't believe either candidate in the 2016 election is qualified for the highest office and most powerful office in the entire world. I will, however, say that there is one candidate that is far more unqualified than the other, and it's not the one that has never been involved in politics.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
