Debate Round 2

The Unintended 90 Minute Cafeteria Food Fight

Debate Round 2

Roughly two hours before the second Presidential Debate, Donald Trump held a press conference with four women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. If that wasn't a warning sign from two hours out, the entire second debate between Trump and Clinton made myself question why we even still have these events. Out of the gate Trump came up to bat swinging, quickly brushing off his hot mic comments earlier in the past week that were leaked with him bragging to Billy Bush about grabbing a women's genitals.

With any questions they threw at him about this scandal Trump took huge swings straight at Clinton. Specifically saying if he enters the oval office he will attempt to throw her in jail. Many people watching and on social media thought this was somehow funny. Yes because throwing your political opponent in jail is funny. No. Dictators throw their political opponents in jail. This was nothing less than a discrace.

As the debate moved along it seemed like Clinton gave less time rebutting Trump's lies and tried to do something different. Present the case she had actual common sense and a brain on stage. She presented facts where Trump continued to spew lies. Lies as such saying Hillary Clinton has somehow been involved helping Isis throughout her entire political career. As I watched and sat through this debate one thing stuck out to me. The moderators, and almost none of the audience members asked any questions relating to Climate Change.

When it comes to our environment, policies surrounding our sustainability as a country and planet, Hillary only mentioned Climate Change once as to say she simply believed in it while Trump still thinks it's a hoax perpetrated by China. The internet still seemed to believe overall Hillary won the second debate, not by as much of a margin as a the first but Trump seemed more calm not including the obsessive sniffles. After the debate polls came out immediately the next day showing Hillary leading with 14 point spreads between the both of them head to head.

Hillary Clinton will be the 45th President of the United States.She has the temperament, experience, and at this point in the race she is the only person fit to be commander in Chief. Republicans, Democrats, people with brains know this is going to happen. She took the first debate by storm, tied with Ken Bone in the second debate, and most definitely will win the third. You can love Hillary or hate her, but Donald Trump simply will not win.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
