Because there's not enough political tension already

In liberal arts colleges all across the country, students are lining up to vote with the “I’m with Her” mentality. But what about the other side? Shouldn’t we at least acknowledge some of the good qualities of the Trump campaign? I mean, not any of their “policies” or “arguments” (which at this point is just a bunch of sexist and racist words strung together to sound like sentences). However, are these really the most important aspects of a president? If you said yes, let me persuade you with these other outstanding qualities that Trump possesses:

1. The hair

Anyone who has the confidence to pull off this hair-do definitely has the gusto to take on Putin (even if they already are best friends).

2. He's the ultimate throwback

In today’s world, everyone is dying to be as sepia toned and vintage as their great-great grandmas in the 1920’s and Trump gets this. With his racist and sexist rhetoric he embodies a modern day Andrew Jackson (don’t know about Andrew Jackson? Read up here: http://www.ushistory.org/us/24f.asp)

See, Jackson gets it.

3. He doesn't hate the gay community (as much as everyone else)

So far in this election cycle, Trump has gone after everyone. From wider topics like immigrants and women, to specific people who are immigrants and women, no one is out of Trump’s reach (poor Rosie O’ Donald). The only exception, it seems, is the LGBT community. Though he doesn’t support gay marriage or gay rights, he has not specifically attacked the gay community during this election cycle (progress?).

4. Trump knows how America should be run

Let’s make America great again. Because when was it great last? When it was founded? During the greatest generation of WWII? During the Civil Rights Movement? When gay marriage was legalized? Who knows? The debate on this wages on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVQvWwHM5kM

5. He started with absolutely nothing

Except a small loan of a million dollars.

Cha-ching

So before you go out there and vote, keep these key qualities in mind. Your choices are between a venom spewing Democrat who says whatever will appeal to voters and Hillary Clinton. Choose wisely.

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.
