The Debate TRUMPS My Great Time
Robert Johnson

This past weekend, my church kicked off its celebration for our 100-year anniversary. The celebration was launched at El Caribe in a magnificent fashion. I was fortunate to sit with New York congressman Hakeem Jefferies, Walter T. Mosley (New York State Assembly), Laurie Cumbo (New York City Council), and public advocate Letitia James. We had great food, and a lot of dancing. Vickie Winans topped everything off. She was the guest vocalist, and she was fantastic. I really enjoyed myself, I had a great time. I was going to write all about it in detail, however, I couldn’t help myself. I tuned in watch the debate. I felt compelled, and to be honest, (and I am NOT ashamed to say), the build up for this event peaked my interest.

I am a big fan of politics. I am very interested in entering (local) politics one day myself. However, I did not turn in to watch the debate because I was interested in hearing what the candidates may have to say as far as an intended agenda in leading this country. I tuned into the debate because I was sure it would play out like a fight scene from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I will say, so far into this debate, I am NOT disappointed. We all know about the now infamous tape that has been shown over and over, with Donald Trump running off at the mouth---to put it nicely. I said to myself, whoa! This is going to make this upcoming debate even more interesting. Then WikiLeaks blew up Hillary’s spot, releasing transcripts of hush hush meetings that has the potential to draw the color out of any face. I was revved up and ready to go, but…much to my delight, the pre-drama was just starting. Many Republicans jumped ship! There were Republican invitations rescinded, there were screaming matches on CNN (one had a woman screaming the word that begins with a P [same one Donald used] in order to make her point). It didn’t end there, with an allegation of rape. Juanita Broaddrick is alleging that Bill Clinton raped her, and Hillary bullied her because of it. My heart was now in over drive. I paced back and forth (between homework breaks), as I was anxious to watch. The final bombshell came as I was about to watch the debate, and find out that three women who allege sexual misconduct from Bill Clinton have been invited to the debate by Donald! As we say in our inner circle, LAWD HAVE MERCY! It is ON AND POPPIN'! I am speechless……

So again, watching the debate, I was not disappointed. It was very interesting, very entertaining. Hillary seem to almost fall into the bait trap set by Donald. Donald was dismissive and well, himself, even at one point appearing to pout like a five-year-old child crying unfair. I am praying, I am PRAYING to God, that this man is NOT elected! Please, vote vote VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
