Warning: The truth about Donald Trump Will be spoken. It may seem cruel or harsh, but it is the truth. The truth hurts, at least when it comes to politics in 2016.

We have all heard bits and pieces of his speeches and what he thinks, but do you really know what Donald Trump stands for and believes? Well, I went to: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ (Trump's official website) and one of the first things I found was a six step description of how Mexico will "Pay For The Wall.' Very detailed but I do not think it is going to happen. Then I wandered upon his healthcare reform. Trump plans to completely repeal the affordable care act(Obama Care). Trump says he wants to "reduce the number of individuals needing access to programs like Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program we will need to install programs that grow the economy and bring capital and jobs back to America." Well that is a great idea while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer you can take away children's healthcare assistance. He has many plans of what to take away and how to do it but few plans of what he will give America (other than his wall), how he will fix the economy, or how he will reduce the number of people needing government assistance. This will not Make America great again! Trumps thoughts on immigration reform, well there's that wall again, "A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border.".Pretty much every idea of his goes back to building a wall or "making America great again". No plan I found on this website will lead America anywear near greatness. So was this what I expected to find after what the media has told us... sadly yes this is exactly what I saw coming and America I am so disappointed you let this man go this far. Trump is a racist, arrogant, pompous man whom we can not allow to run This country(unless into the ground). America Please make an educated decision before you vote we can not let Donald Trump be our Future President(or Dictator). Everyone 18 and older, go out and vote please!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.
