We Could Have Killed Trump With Kindness

Back in 2016 when Donald Trump was elected, we could have used kindess and guidance to steer him in the right direction.

When Trump became president our nation fell apart. In the past three years, democrats and republicans have been at each other's throats relentlessly.

Granted, these argumentive standpoints stem from a good cause but have been handled the wrong way. If the individuals against Trump had tried to teach him instead of bash him or tried to provide guidance instead of ridicule our country could be in a completely different place. we could have killed all that is hated about Trump with kindness.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for how our country has handled a controversial leader. Imagine the power our nation could hold if we came together instead of growing apart. Imagine if we had tried to educate those incompetent instead of hating and shunning. Alas, our country is basically in a civil war. Red versus blue, you versus them.

This country runs off hate. If people focus more on helping one another and educating one another over hating each other and fighting over different beliefs than this country could be in a much better state than where it is today.

The sad thing is we have all these investigations and allegations of everything that goes on around the fake news and the different new stations it turned everyone against each other. If everyone could put aside their differences and work together to come to a common understanding and a common ground we wouldn't have the harsh opposing sides and we wouldn't have all the ugly news lines for different politicians that we see every day.

If everyone works with a little bit of kindness and if everyone worked to help one another understand and educate one another it's incredible what we could accomplish. But instead we're here at each other's throat's every day and who knows if a new election will even fix the strong hatred that's torn this country apart.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
