10 Things More Sincere Than Donald Trump's Apology To Sexist Comments
http://wondrouspics.com

I'm sure by now we've all heard that Donald Trump was forced to apologize this last Friday. A recent video revealed that over a decade ago, he made a few statements about women that people don't quite like. He's said various other controversial things at rallies, interviews, and even on live television. In this 90 second "Apology", you can clearly see that he's reading from a cue card, behind the camera, but what strikes me as odd is the fact that Trump quickly pivoted to an attack on the Clintons. Yes, there is a lot of things that should be discussed and not pushed to the side, but if you're going to give your apologies, then don't use this as a chance to push your own agenda by raising Bill Clinton's sex scandals and Hillary Clinton's role in shaming and downplaying women who had affairs with her husband.

Here are 10 things I believe to be a lot more sincere than this "Apology".

1. The "I can't believe it's not butter" commercial.

2. Trump University. (Just kidding)

3. Water directly from the pipes of Flint, Michigan.

4. Tim Cook when he said Apple removed the headphone jack because its "old technology".

5. The Terms and Conditions.

6. A drink handed to you by Bill Cosby.

7. Congress. (Kidding)

8. A battery inside a Galaxy Note 7.

9. Oatmeal raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies.

10. College letters that start with "dear" instead of "congratulations".

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
