Why I Hate This Election, From Someone Who Is Pro-Life

Is there even a right choice?

Why I Hate This Election, From Someone Who Is Pro-Life
babbyy.com

Quite honestly, there are a lot of reasons to hate this election. An issue that has always been important to me is abortion.

Growing up Christian, I was taught that abortion was wrong. I went to numerous conventions where I was informed what happens and how it happens. It can be brutal, and it was something that I definitely think needed to stop. Of course, there are certain medical issues where I can understand that it may be necessary. When I was 16, I signed a pact to always vote pro-life first. This article is not meant to argue on if abortion is right or wrong. All I am saying is that this election really sucks for someone who is pro-life.

Donald Trump doesn't agree with abortion. Hillary Clinton does. However, voting for Donald Trump just because he is pro-life means that I will be voting for someone who is OK with hurting other people. He wants to try to get rid of all of the Muslims in the United States and all of the immigrants. It is not OK for him to degrade someone for their religion or for their ethnicity. He also wants a war on ISIS, which means that so, so many people will die. So really, the question is, do I vote for someone who is OK killing unborn babies or do I vote for someone who is okay with hurting people who are already here and someone who is okay with getting the US into another war?

Honestly, I'm not sure. Either way, I'm voting for someone who goes against what I believe in. That is scary for me.

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.
