Sequelize data formatting offers DATE or DATEONLY, we use DATEONLY to…

… return just the date. It still could be in better format, but it is much better than that long date string with all of the data data. We updated our model and created the object for the schema for this, and reset the db. Updated created_at to created_on, which is what we named it in our schema.
