Two Old White Men Tell Us What's Best for the Country

This Tuesday, October 4th, at 9 p.m. vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Tim Kaine will ramble on for 90 minutes at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. Besides feeling very frustrated, there are a few things we can expect. CNN's Elaine Quijano will be the moderator for this debate, and she sets many firsts milestones for american history debate moderators.The debate will be in nine parts of ten minutes, or at least that's the goal. Here are four foreseeable exchanges to expect Tuesday night.

Tim Kaine will show us how progressive he is. Kaine is pretty much a republican when it comes to trade deals, but that's not going to fly here. He is going to make a similar pivot that Clinton did over the summer. Kaine was pro-free trade, pro-right to work, and pro-fracking until just recently. One thing we can definitely expect is that Kaine will make us think that he has always been consistent in these positions.

Mike Pence, along with Trump, might be indifferent to Climate Change, but earlier this week in an interview, Pence said he believes the rising temperatures are caused by humans. This, while being an abhorrently low standard, is in opposition to what Donald Trump has been saying all year. Mike Pence is supposed to clean up on the detail-policy talk that Trump lacks strength in.

Tim Kain will probably spout some Spanish here and there; Kaine is fluent in Spanish and has been using it in his speeches and rallies as often as Thor whips out his hammer. You can expect that after Pence tries to defend Trump's immigration policies, Kaine will say recite some Spanish sonnet and really lock in that voter demographic.

Mike Pence will remind us he is a christian, conservative, and a republican. Along with making up for Trump's lack of policy knowledge, Pence is also responsible for appealing to the more religious side of America. A large portion of America is looking for someone who loves the bible just as much as they do.

Tune into the CNN debate this Tuesday at 9 Pm ET

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.
