My Questions for Donald and Hillary
The Telegraph

This past week, as we all know, was the event millions of people around the U.S. looked forward to, dreaded, feared, were excited for, and/or a mixture of all of these. I am talking about the first of 3 presidential debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. As a 20-year old college student, this election and the debates are very important for me because it is my first presidential election. As one of the millions of young adults who will become the future for this country, it is important to elect someone whose decisions will impact my life for not only the next 4 or 8 years, but beyond that too. Since I couldn't be at the first debate and I won't be able to make it to the next 2 either, here are some of the questions I would have asked them (political differences aside:

Question 1: What are your plans for Job growth/creation for college graduates?

As a college student in his junior year, it is time to start considering post-college plans, which means that I will have to get a job based on my area of study (Media Production.) With the media industry being a very popular and competitive industry as an example, what are your proposals to create new jobs to millions of college graduates?

Question 2: Without naming specific names, what are your strategies for combating terrorism and terrorist groups?

As terrorist attacks continue to occur overseas areas such as Europe and the Middle East, it seems like another one here in the US is inevitable. As it seems anyone can be suspicious of carrying out a gruesome attack, how can we intervene with the affairs of terrorist organizations? Should we do it on our own or with other countries?

Question 3: Hillary, where do you stand on immigration?

We all know where Donald stands on this but what's your plan as the first female president? Should people coming in to the country and veteran immigrants be kicked out even if they had proper paperwork? If not, what is they best way to assist them?

Question 4: What are your plans for gun control?

This, of course, has been a very polarizing topic in our country over the past several years but what do you think? How can we allow people the right to carry firearms without intruding the second amendment? And what about background checks, mental illness, and laws regarding hunting? Stuff's important, am i right?

Question 5: Donald, where do you stand on higher taxes for the wealthy elite?

As one of the world's wealthiest entrepreneurs, it is unfair that a person with billions of dollars has to pay very little while we, the working middle class, have to pay more. What do you believe is the best way to make the wealthy, overpaid elite that make up the 1% pay their fair shares come every tax season?

Question 6: What are your proposals for health care?

Everyone has a right to affordable, accessible medical care from a licensed medical professional. It doesn't matter what race, age, gender, or socioeconomic status you are-no one should be denied access to a doctor because they can't afford it. What are your plans to give people the medical attention they need?

Question 7 (Last One): Where do you see this country going by the end of your presidency?

Being the President of the United States is not a piece of cake (as much as I like cake.) The whole country will have your eyes on you every day for the next 4 or 8 years. What do you hope to accomplish by the end of your presidency and what do you think your legacy on this country will be?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
