Donald Trump: Not For President
Someecards

Donald Trump has been making headlines from the moment he started running for the GOP Candidate spot. I have lost count of how many times I have seen him trending on Facebook, and how many posts my friends on Facebook have shared written about him. Personally, I am a big believer in if we do not talk about it, he/she (whoever is making the headlines) will just eventually be quiet. You know, the whole bullying thing where if you do not react to the bully, the bully will eventually stop torturing you.

So throughout the past months, I have tried to ignore his quotes and the way he views what is good/bad for America. But let me just preface this: He can have any sort of an opinion he wants. He's a human being, I'm not going to deny that. However, what he lacks is the fact that he is running to be the President of the United States. And as President of such a nation, he needs to learn to keep some of those opinions to himself. I don't see Obama tweeting or posting on Facebook about every single thing he has an opinion on. No, he is the President, and as President, he needs to learn to pick and choose his battles. Of course, he has a Secretary of Press so everything he wants to write probably gets filtered through, but doesn't Trump have one too? If he doesn't, then he really needs to get one and stop believing in that he can say whatever he wants to say. If he does...well, that person needs to do a better job.

Imagine if the Muslim countries of the world suddenly goes, "We are going to ban all people who come from a Christian believing country," or "We are going to ban all Christians." What would our society say? Well, for starters, America might end up declaring war on those countries and we might even end up severing business ties with large industries like oil. Thank goodness the actual POTUS didn't say what Trump said, because that might have end up happening to us if Obama said something as stupid and senseless as what Trump said.

In my mind, there is only two real reasons why Trump is a forerunner for the GOP:

1. He says so many stupid and senseless things that he is using those ideas and opinions of his to generate traffic and buzz.

2. He's rich.

And what is unfair is that there probably are GOP candidates who are talking about real things, talking about real changes that can be constitutionally upheld, that are overshadowed by Trump's money and his opinions. We don't see those candidates trending.

I don't want to diss Trump as a human being. He may well just be a very kind-hearted man who wants America to be as great as it can be. But as a Presidential candidate, he is an American Hitler.

I apologize to Trump supporters for my harsh words. However, if you support Trump, you are not supporting the Constitution of America. I believe America is a country of dreams, of acceptance, and of equality. But Trump stands for none of that. And you say he does, then maybe you should urge him to show it. Because if he continues on this streak, Australia is about to get a lot more citizens.

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.

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.
