Dear Mr. President

An open letter to the future President.

Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President,

Let me say I did not vote for you. I am disappointed you are my President, but I have accepted that YOU are MY President. I will not burn flags or call people names who voted for you. I will accept that the next four years I must respect you even though you do not respect me. I am simply a number, a useless woman, and a sex object.

I heard America when they said they do not want career politicians. I understand because what the world wants is someone to run this country better than it has, but I think that you are more than under qualified for the position. You are running this country without prior knowledge. You are in charge of many policies you do not know anything about, but we still felt you were the man for the job, because you are "successful" at running your company.

Words hurt, Mr. President. I get not wanting to tell it how it is. I am as blunt as they come and I have no problem telling the world how I feel but you take it to a whole new level. You disgust me. You literally make me sick. The things you say I wonder how you sleep at night. I wonder how you are so okay with saying minorities are rapists, critiquing women on their looks, making fun of the mentally handicapped, saying a veteran was not a war hero because he was captured, and making it clear sexual assault was perfectly fine. That is not even the start of the terrible things you have said. You do not have to be politically correct, but you also do not have to be an arrogant jerk either.

I cried when I found out you won. I did not cry because a Republican won. I did not cry because a woman lost. I cried because you, Donald Trump won. I did not realize this election mattered that much to me, but I guess it did.

You do not care about other people's rights, but you care about your second amendment right. Funny how people are only concerned about the rights that pertain to them. We live in an incredibly selfish world.

Let me finish with: I hope I am wrong about you. I hope you are not everything up until this point you have proven to be. I hope you succeed. I will inform you that you have one incredible hard job and I personally would not want it, but do not take it lightly. You have a divided country. You have to bring back a nation that you single handedly helped divide. I will support you, because it is my job as an American. You did not take away my love of being an American. You winning put a fire in my soul. I will pay attention to every move you make. I will make sure you fight not only for the rich. I will make sure minorities, the gay community, women, and everyone else is protected. Every one in this country matters not just the ones who make a billion dollars a year. I will not let you bully me. You winning did not make me hate; it made me love harder. When you go low, we go high.

Good Luck,

from the person who did not vote for you.

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.
