This election season has been filled with emotions.

With the upcoming election, I'm sure we're all feeling a mix of emotions. Whether we're "With Her" or want to "Make America Great Again," there's only one (kind-of) positive outcome we can think of. In the recent film, Inside Out, there are five core emotions that each person has and they fuel how the person is going to feel in different situations. Here's how I feel about the current election based on these emotions.

Sadness


Any inkling of hope I had left in humanity went missing at about the same time I found out I couldn't vote for Bernie. He had a bird land on his podium for goodness sake! He was basically a male Snow White and the only saving grace this nation had. He'll always be the one that got away.


Fear


I'm scared for the future of this country. Either candidate can only dig our country into a hole that no one will be able to get us out of. I'm not ready for the potential for more wars, large walls, and booming bigotry nor for half the country to want to fight to impeach someone over emails.

Anger


This perfectly describes how I've felt during every debate and how I'll continue to feel when I have to listen to one of these people talk for the next four to eight years. I'm tired of only hearing racist slurs, people slandering one another, and broadcasters discuss possible treason and sexual assault cases.

Disgust

When I realized the only candidates I have to choose from are a racist orange or a try-hard PTA mom. Sure, there's Jill Stein and Gary Johnson but do they really have a chance when the media has been blowing up about Clinton and Trump since day one? Probably not.

Joy


How I'll feel watching the results roll in on Tuesday night when my favorite takes the lead.


Although, no matter who wins our brains will always just filter the presidents like this:

"US presidents. What do you think?"
"Just keep Washington, Lincoln and the fat one."

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.

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.
