Accepting The "L"

And Move On............

Accepting The "L"
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2015/dec/22/donald-trump-responds-lie-year-says-hes-been-prove/

In today's time we want to to blame each other for each others downfalls. We want to use violence, bullying, and other tactics to deflect from what's really going on. Let me explain what taking the "L" means: you just take the loss and move on. I've learned over the past couple of years that to be a mature adult , we must be able to admit that we are wrong sometimes. But we tend to point the finger at others , when there are 4 others pointing right back at us. For instance Donald Trump is our next president, but instead of moving on and seeing what he can do for our country, we still are dealing with stuff that happened last year during the election like the alleged Russian hacking, or the Hilary Clinton email scandal. My favorite saying is , If you can't beat them join them in the game. Now don't get me wrong I still believe he isn't fit to run the country because he needs to control his twitter fingers , because everything doesn't merit a response. But I do believe in giving someone a chance to prove themselves either wrong or right people can change even though people think it's impossible in today's times. It may just come down to we were wrong about Trump leading the country, and he may be one of the greatest leaders behind Obama to accomplish what he sat out to do. America I know this may be a hard pill to swallow, but we have to deal with this decision we made for the next four years.

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?
