13 "Candidates" Better Than Trump

The GOP should reconsider their nominee.

13 "Candidates" Better Than Trump

"You're hired." Words that Donald Trump has likely never said before and should not hear after election season ends for our country. It seems the GOP is looking for nearly anyone to fill their nomination. Going into this election, I think it's good to keep an open mind. That being said, consider these names as you fill out the write-in section of your ballot next November.


1. Little Honey Boo Boo.

She may be young and unintelligent, but that's what people said about Queen Elizabeth when she took the reins in England. Let's have some faith in her.


2. Sofia Vergara.

No one really understands politics, no one really understands Sofia Vergara. Coincidence? Plus, she's a lot easier on the eyes than Mr. Trump.


3. Ted.

He may be offensive, but at least he can calm down Mark Wahlberg. Any chief executive with that power is truly rare.


4. Ellen Degeneres.

She can already rock a good looking suit. Why not?


5. OJ Simpson.

If a man can get away with murder, just imagine what he could get away with sitting in the Oval Office. Plus, everyone loves a man who can play football.


6. Jared the Subway Guy.

This man is an inspiration. He lost hundreds of pounds after years of ridicule. In light of recent accusations against him, it seems there's one thing he won't be able to lose: a guilty conscience. He would try with all his might not to mess up while in office.


7. Serena Williams.

I wouldn't want to mess with a woman who can swing a racket like she does. I seriously doubt any other country would, either.


8. Dr. Phil.

Considered one of the greatest mediators in the modern age, Dr. Phil resolves any conflict with his soothing voice. He could end foreign wars with one phone call. Let's hope Kim Jong Un is on the White House speed-dial.


9. Peyton Manning.

The epitome of a great man is a firm jawline. Peyton has Donald beat in this category.


10. Mayor West.

He has years of political experience under his belt, something that Trump does not have. Plus, his haircut is a bit more up to date than Donald's.


11. JK Rowling.

Isn't politics all smoke and mirrors? That's right up her alley with all her Harry Potter books. She wouldn't be fooled in office.


12. Tiger Woods.

He already loves the color red, the color of the Republican Party. He wouldn't have to change his wardrobe.


13. Steve Carell.

Steve has shown that he can effectively run an office of a very diverse population. Isn't that basically what America is? Let's give him a promotion.


Don't forget to vote when November 2016 rolls around; it's your right as a U.S. citizen. Thank you for considering these potential candidates as I have. Let's make America great again!

Oops -- it's kinda catchy, though.

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.
