Look, Hilary Clinton is not perfect, but dammit she's the best choice for president of The United States!

I can’t understand why people have trouble making this choice: Hillary, Trump, or a third party candidate.

First of all the fact that all the other candidates are “A third party candidate” and that's all that they are commonly referred to tells me that they aren’t making enough of an impact to really have a shot at winning the presidency. I have no problem with voting for a third party candidate, and I in no way view it as a wasted vote, but I can not risk spreading out the votes.

Which brings me to Donald Trump. Trump has issues that I simply can not allow in The White House: he is a pathological liar who has come up with lies the likes of which no other candidate even comes close to matching. He has no idea how to interact with people in a compassionate manner. Trump is all about Trump and he doesn’t care about the American people or any other group of people. Trump is a misogynistic, sexist, horror of a man who doesn’t care about women, their rights, or even their general well-being, I can not support that.

Hillary Clinton, if elected will be the first female president in the history of The United States. This milestone would be following the first black president in the history of The United States. The sheer importance of these two milestones in our countries' history is incredible. If we were to make this happen and we have a strong black president for two terms and then have a strong female president immediately afterward we show that this country is making amazing strides towards equality in this country, which is something we desperately need.

I was and still am a huge supporter of Bernie Sanders and everything he stood for as a candidate. Now that he is no longer in the race for president, and because he has worked with Hillary and her team in order to make some of his ideas a reality I feel that Hillary Clinton is the best shot for attaining the America that Bernie Sanders had in mind. Hillary is not the candidate to lead the political revolution that we so desperately need, but she is a start and she is the best start we have right now.

Hilary has made mistakes, but that's just it, they are mistakes. She used a private email server and deleted emails, that's a mistake it's not a malicious action. When Trump claims that Mexicans are rapists and killers he is being malicious; when Hillary deletes her emails she is not. Hilary is not evil, she is a normal politician. Politics need to be changed but Donald Trump is not that change and if we put him in the Oval Office then we may not get the chance to change politics for the better.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
