It was the worst of times.

A Tale of Two Candidates

This election can’t get any crazier.. can it? In the past couple of days we’ve seen the FBI reopen the Clinton case and Trump get buried in rape accusations. With one political bomb after another being thrown, it’s difficult to foresee the outcome of the polls on November 4th. Those polls are tightening up in a way not imaginable just a couple days ago. The election is just over a week away, how much more can the public handle?

Here are some recent updates on the 2016 race.

CLINTON: A big bombshell dropped Friday, informing Americans that Hillary’s email probe would reopen in light of new evidence that could possibly indict the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate.The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, uncovered new emails that may be related to the Clinton case just days before the general election. It is extremely rare for the FBI to release information regarding an ongoing investigation like this- especially so close to a presidential election. It’s difficult to see the election of a crooked president who will also undergo a criminal investigation the first couple months in office. A YouTube video has also been released exposing rigging and tampering of the election within Clinton’s campaign.

TRUMP: Trump is get slammed with accusations of sexual assault right and left. The list of women is so long it's genuinely disgusting. His lewd comments about women were released just a few weeks ago. Consequently, people are continuing to question his unacceptable behavior and language regarding women. So in regard to Trump, it is also difficult to see the election of such a chauvinistic degenerate.

With all of this back and forth, the question that everyone is asking themselves seems to be, is either candidate fit for office? If the answer is no, can the American public elect either candidate with good conscience?

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.
