Dear Donald Trump

Why I can't support this Republican candidate.

Donald Trump,

Soon, the people of America will decide whether or not you will be the next person to run this country. While many find your "honesty" appealing, I do not. I believe you are honest, for the most part. I believe that you speak exactly what is on your mind, and I find the things that are on your mind to be very troubling. You have called women names based on their weight, breast size, and appearance. You have judged people based on the color of their skin or their religious preference. You say you stand with the Constitution, but what about freedom of religion? When you threaten to ban Muslims from entering the country, you are shredding the first amendment. You have stated that you are allowed to sexually assault a female just because you're rich and famous, and you believe you can get away with it. Of course, the second you are accused of sexual assault, the woman making the allegations is a "liar". You have called yourself a man of Christian values, but doesn't the Bible say to love thy neighbor? It doesn't say, "Love thy neighbor as long as they aren't gay, Muslim, or poor," it says, "Love thy neighbor," with no exceptions added. You also have the nerve to judge Hillary Clinton based on the fact that her husband cheated on her, but you cheated on wife number one with wife number two, and wife number two with wife number three. I'm pretty sure the Bible is against adultery as well. A few months ago, you were worried about transgender going into the "incorrect" bathroom, claiming that they would sexually harass our daughters. However, you are currently in the middle of a trial for the rape of a minor. You are a violent man. We have heard you say that you will torture innocent women and children of our enemies, which is not only morally wrong, but would also mean you would be committing war crimes. You would be ordering our soldiers to commit war crimes. You claim to love and support our troops, but you stood on stage and shamed the name of a fallen soldier.

I cannot support you for these reasons, Donald Trump. I can't, and I won't.

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.
