Clinton-Trump Round 2 Was Mud-Slinging At Its Best

From the Desk of Amanda Byrd.

After watching last night’s debate, I can honestly say that this country is doomed no matter who wins. The amount of mud that was slung could have built a city. It is simply ridiculous for people who claim to have the country’s best interests at heart to act like a bunch of grade school children out on the playground. Nothing concrete was actually discussed and America’s time was wasted for having watched the squabbling children. Trump and Clinton are out to destroy each other in this race and they are going to take America down along with them.

Trump is a misogynistic, sexist jerk and Clinton is a lying, conniving, power-hungry worm. See? Do you see how easy it is to sling mud and call people names? Exactly. I could never fathom why it was always more important to defame each other’s character than to really tackle the improvements America desperately needs. Clinton claims to want what is best for America and claims to have all these plans to help bring about the changes needed. SO does Trump. So, who do you choose to vote for?

Well, let me ask you this. Who do you think can keep this country safe? Trump for all his posturing and lewd mouth has no political career whatsoever. He has horrible views about women. He seems to want to divide America by building a wall between us and Mexico. He wants a flat tax rate that would be harder on the poor. Despite the controversy surrounding “missing” emails, Clinton wants to regulate gun laws more closely. She wants to improve healthcare and rights for women. She wants to improve our infrastructure.

Okay, well, again, let me ask you who is more qualified. Trump or Clinton? Trump ran multi-million dollar corporations. Which several had failed. Clinton has had a long career in politics. Let’s not forget the controversies surrounding her time in her various political offices. From First Lady to Secretary of State. All of it is disgusting from both parties if you ask me. All of it. I have never felt so ashamed of my country and its leaders in all my life.

Neither deserve to be president. They don’t have the class that JFK had or the brains Reagan had. Even ol’ Bill wasn’t so bad. This, however, is a complete farce. Abraham Lincoln was third party. Let’s not forget that. Gary Johnson, folks. Gary Johnson. Change can happen if we stand together and tell Trump and Clinton we do not want any more bullshit fed to us. It isn’t ice cream and we do not like it. We aren’t stupid and we are sick of the posturing and the mud-slinging. We want real change. I don’t see how anyone could vote for either of these two candidates. They’re despicable.

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.
