Donald Trump Is The Next President. Get Over It.

11/9. AKA the day Donald Trump officially became president-elect. Obviously, there are people who are thrilled that Donald Trump is president because they believe he is the best candidate to help America flourish. On the opposite side of the spectrum, you have Clinton supporters who are completely flabbergasted and amazed that such a "horrible," "racist," and "unqualified," candidate is now in charge of running our country.

Regardless of who I voted for and who you voted for, Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America. We can complain about it, cry about it, move out of the country and sit and sulk about what has happened, or we can move on. In reality, who is going to benefit from your constant negativity on social media and in your everyday life? It's going to affect you, your friends, and your family. Nothing can change the fact that Donald Trump is the new President of the United States.

However, if you are one of the many Clinton supporters who voted for Hillary in this election, I urge you to please consider other's feelings. Not every person who voted for Donald Trump is racist, sexist, homophobic or bigoted. Many liberals are upset because of the election and have resorted to calling Trump supporters these horrible, condemning names. Not everyone who voted for Trump supports every single thing he has said and done, and the same thing goes for Hillary Clinton.

Have you ever thought that people weren't necessarily Trump supporters but simply didn't want a corrupt politician as Hillary Clinton leading this country?

This presidential election, for a lot of people, was simply voting for the lesser of two evils. Of course, there were hardcore Trump supporters and dedicated Clinton supporters, but for a lot of people, they were torn and they felt Trump was the lesser of two evils.

This was my first presidential election I was ever able to vote in and the candidate I voted for did win. However, I have been condemned and judged because of who I voted for by friends and family and that simply isn't right. The things liberals have been saying to Trump supporters are just downright hateful and mean. I've never seen such hate in the world and it saddens me to see my close family and friends acting in such spiteful ways.

Today, Donald Trump officially became the president of the United States. You can be mad, happy or sad about this but it doesn't give you the right to judge others for what they believe it. We all believe in different things but no one has the right to condemn another person because of their beliefs.

Donald Trump will be the new President of the United States. Get over it.

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?
