Give Peace A Chance, America

Spread peace, not hate.

Give Peace A Chance, America
History.com

Everyone in the world right now is too busy yelling at each other and choosing sides. Everyone is too busy using the he said she said arguments. Everyone is too busy about protesting or complaining about the protestors. Everyone is too busy posting their political views on Facebook rather than talking to someone in real life about their political views and actually hearing someone else's viewpoint, but I have one question for you America, why?

In a time where a celebrity can be a president and someone who is under federal investigation is allowed to run for president, why are we focused on opposing each other? Shouldn't we be working to make America a better place ourselves rather than letting the government take full and utter control of us? We the American people can come together to create a better country for ourselves and for one another. In a time like this, we need to give peace a chance.

I have never seen so much hatred being spread than I have in these past couple of weeks. People calling each other p*ssies for rioting, bigots for not being tolerant of other peoples opinions. Instead of destroying things during the riots why not march for peace? To those of you being completely blindsided and not wanting to hear anything but your own side whether it be democrat, republican, or independent why not try and discuss with others in person rather than just ranting on Facebook and blocking those who disagree with you? I'm not telling anyone to change their views or change parties, but why not give peace a chance?

Let's go back to being the America that we all love. Let's go back to the America that wants peace, not violence. Stop the hate, spread the love. Give peace a chance, America.

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.

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?
