Donald Trump was born in 1946 and grew into a well known businessman, billionaire, and now, politician. The 2016 Republican presidential nominee sure does have a way with words. From vulgar statements to hate speech and bigotry, Trump has covered a wide variety of topics in the most unpresidential fashion. Words from his past are a clear indication of our nation's future if he assumes the responsibility of being America's 45th president.

1. Donald Trump: Parenting 101

"I've said If Ivanka weren't my daughter, I'd probably date her." (The View, 2006)

2. Trump's personal thoughts on Arianna Huffington

"Ariana Huffington is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man --he made a good decision." (Twitter, 2012)

3. Discusses why the rich, white man feels as if he is at a disadvantage

"A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. ... I've said on one occasion, even about myself, that if were starting off today, I would love to be a well educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage." (NBC, 1989)

4. Trump's thoughts on marriage

"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her own husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?" (Twitter, 2015)

5. Trump's lesson on how to respect all races and religions.

"Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are the little short guys who wear yarmulkes all day." (USA Today, 1991)

6. Who said Donald Trump was a feminist? Nobody.

"She's not giving me 100 percent, she's giving me percent, and 16 percent is going toward children." (TIME, 2011)

7. But, come on, Trump said that he loved women!

"You know, it really doesn't mater what they write as long as you got a young and beautiful piece of a**." (Esquire, 1991)

8. So he doesn't support women, but at least he supports our troops!

"[John McCain]'s not a war hero! He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured." ( Family Leadership Summit, 2015)

9. Sometimes, even he isn't good at lying

"An 'extremely credible source' source has called my office and told me [Barack Obama]'s birth certificate is a fraud." (Twitter, 2012)

10. But he is always good at stereotyping

"Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!" (Twitter, 2015)


11. Don't worry, Trump still loves women!

"You could see there was blood coming out of [Megan Kelly's] eyes, blood coming out of her whatever." (Interview, 2016)

12. Nonetheless, Trump is loyal to his party...

"I identify more as a democrat." (Interview, 2014)

13. Okay, so everyone has a party-jumping moment, so what?

"I know Hillary and I think she would make a great president or vice-president." (An interview, 2008)

15. But not everyone has one of these moments

"Uhh, I don't know what I said. Uhh, I don't remember!" (mocking a disabled reporter, 2015)

16. At least Trump understands that he isn't a good person

"One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don't go into the government..." (Advocate, 2014)

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
