Now that both John Kasich andTed Cruz have dropped their bids for the Republican Party nomination, Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee (translation: barring a miracle, Trump is going to be the Republican Party candidate). In case you're anything like most Americans and are not sure about the potential Democratic Party candidates either, I would like to propose a write-in solution. In honor of May the 4th, here are 12 reasons why I think Obi-Wan Kenobi would be the best man for the job.

1. Every good leader must first know how to follow.


Obi-Wan had the one and only Qui-Gon Jinn (read: Liam Neeson) as his Jedi Master. It doesn't get much better than that.


2. He's a winner.

He has a proven record of succeeding against all odds.


3. He's not afraid to tackle big challenges.

Four lightsabers to one? No big deal.


4. He's always prepared.


Whether you're a terrorist or his Padawan, it's not easy to catch Obi-Wan off guard.


5. He has great instincts.

Diplomatic negotiations? He might have a bad feeling about those, but he'll get things done anyway.


6. He's very convincing.

The man knows how to get his way.


7. He knows how to deal with our useless Congress.

Seriously. Can you even imagine?


8. He won't get caught up in the mud-slinging.

He could bring the civility we've all been longing for.


9. He can help get our country out of the bind that it's in.

10. He's a mentor to the youth.

Fifty percent of the time, his mentees turn out okay.


11. He's a consistent presence.

He died and still didn't go away.


12. He's ready to do what needs to be done.

But is America ready for him?


Bonus Reason:

Vote Kenobi, or Trump could be our next President.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
