Have Respect For This Country

Why hate this country when God has done so much for us?

Have Respect For This Country
Fox News

We all know that Donald Trump will be our new president after President Obama leaves the office in January. Most people have showed their anger by performing riots and various things. Some who have protested has brought it to the extreme part by burning the American Flag, which is against the law.

If you want to perform riots and protests, than you go ahead and do it, but you are just destroying this nation. If you do not like the president, well, just remember that you are not the only one that disagrees who should be the next president. I believe that protesting is a way to get attention and to destroy someone's reputation. I commend you if you are protesting because you are showing what you believe in, but when you start destroying stuff or buildings, you are going way too far and I do not agree with that.

This nation needs to have respect toward the president and all of the other political and various actions and decisions that the leaders make. Yes, I personally do not agree with everything that Donald Trump says he will do and neither do I like some of the decisions President Obama has made, but you do not see me protesting or doing hateful crimes or actions about it! Donald Trump's slogan for his campaign was, "Make America great again" and I believe that is what he is going to do when he takes the role as president.

As long as we have God, we should not be worried or be angry about what is or is going to happen to this country, because God already has it planned out and His plan is always great! Will you join me in praying for this nation as times get tough? Will you pray for Trump as he takes a new role as president at the end of January? Will you pray for unity as a country, that we will all be unified in Christ and not of the world?

Prayer is powerful and if we all join in together in prayer, God will do great things in us and to this beautiful country that He created.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
