January 20th marks two years since President Donald Trump was inaugurated, and it has been a whirl wind since. Here are some highlights for your viewing pleasure:

1. Inauguration

On this day, our President Donald Trump declared he would have us from American Carnage and "Make a America Great Again". How is he going to do that? Build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it!

2. Charolottesville

President Trump did not take long to show Americans how he plans to handle racial tensions. August 2017, the Charlottesville riots resulted in three deaths and multiple injuries. And Trump's incredibly passive response: "We condemn the strongest possible - of bigotry and violence, on many sides"

3. Hurricane Maria

Hurricane Maria was a terrible hurricane that impacted residents of Puerto Rico back in 2017. How does President react to the first major natural event under his presidency? He throws napkins to a crowd...

4. Meeting with very Important Politician Kanye West

I don't even have anything sarcastic to say about this. I'm not really sure why Kanye West met the President, or what he was going on about. But in all the ways President Trump has show disregard for minorities and people of color, Kanye West has found a way to love him.

5. Christmas 2018

Remember the days when the President would visit the troops deployed on the Holidays, and thank them for keeping us safe. So do I, because President Trump has changed this wonderful tradition, and instead aims to gloat to the troops. Biggest pay raise!

6. Government Shutdown

Finally, President Donald Trump celebrated his second term throwing a tantrum worthy of Donald Trump. Because Democrats won't give him his big bad wall, he's going to shutdown the government. Does he consider the way a government shutdown of this length is effecting government worker. Nope. It's been almost a month now President Trump. What's the move?

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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?
