The Final Debate: Clinton Won 3 For 3
Movie TV Tech Geeks

On October 19, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump had their final face-off before the election season finally comes to an end.

It has been a long and sufferable road, and we finally were able to listen to the two candidates answer some of the most important questions that are riding on this election.

The debate started off with the candidates responding to the question of their Supreme Court choices and what effect their very different possible appointments could have on this nation.

Of course, they have very different people in mind since they have values and beliefs that are polar opposite from each other.

Clinton explains that the person she supports will not try to repeal Roe v. Wade or equal marriage laws, and they will make sure that although the Second Amendment will be protected, there should be stricter laws for gun accessibility.

Trump, on the other hand, would want to appoint someone who would do the exact opposite: repeal Roe v. Wade, reverse the equal marriage laws and make sure that anyone who wants a gun can get one.

He then decided to call out Ruth Bader Ginsburg, our liberal Supreme Court Justice superhero, saying her remarks towards him in the early stages of the campaign were hurtful to him and millions of other people who support him. I'm sorry, wasn’t he the one who said that words are just words?

The debate then turned to abortion, as Trump proclaimed that he will immediately overturn Roe v. Wade, which would never be allowed to happen anyway. He continued to use horrific rhetoric, which to me sounded like language someone would use to insult and condemn women who have exercised the freedom to choose.

The circus show proceeded from there, asking Trump for a response to the accusations the nine women made against him. He immediately shames them and denies the accusations and goes onto saying that he, in fact, has the most respect women.

*Cue laughter.

Clinton continued to rise above, while he went even lower, by defending women’s healthcare and proclaiming that the government should have no say in the matter, in any context.

The debate got quite combative from there, as the topics changed from Mexico to Vladimir Putin.

Chris Wallace, the Fox News anchor and moderator of the debate, finally asked Trump about his recent remarks regarding the validity of the election.

Trump repeated over and over again that he will look at it at the time of the election, and after being pressed by Wallace, he then concluded by saying, “I will leave you in suspense.”

Not much else worth repeating happened at the debate. Of course, like with any of the debates this election season, there was name calling and both candidates baiting and interrupting — some more than others.

I will say the best part of this debate was the moderator, Chris Wallace. I felt that besides Anderson Cooper, he did the best job at keeping the candidates on topic and holding both accountable. He insisted on getting the answers not only out of Trump, but also Clinton as well. And although I have a clear favorite and am very open about who I support, I also expect my candidate to be held to the same standards as the opposing candidate.

By the end, Clinton was the clear winner, composed, poised and most of all prepared. And while Donald Trump answered more questions than he ever has, he still used his aggressive banter which made it hard to even listen to him after a while.

I think the one thing that both conservatives and liberals can agree on is that we are all counting down the days until this election is over.

It seems like it has been too long since we judged each other by our values and actions, and not by who we are voting for.

Until then, watch the news, get informed, keep an open mind and do not leave this election up to chance.

Go vote, because too many people have fought, protested and died for your right to share your voice and be a part of this great democracy.

So here is to you, my nasty women and bad hombres, happy election!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
