So lately, I've been getting a lot of backlash because of who I support for the Presidential candidacy. Hear me out before you get in line before everyone else calling me insane.

The other night I got in a fight on Facebook with a sophomore in high school. Now, I am entering my sophomore year in nursing school and this kid was calling me uneducated for supporting Trump. Some of you anti-Trump people can't even explain in an actual logical reason why you don't stand by him. I'm not saying he's perfect at all, but when putting him side by side with his competition, I'd rather have him than a woman responsible for thousands of innocent American lives.

To say the least, Donald Trump has turned things from nothing into something. The past presidents that we have had seemed to have strong follower mentalities. The one thing that sets Trump apart from his competition is his ability to speak what is on his mind (a reason you either love or hate about him). It is no surprise whatsoever that America is on a huge downward spiral starting with the crash of Wall Street and the Housing Market in 2008. We lost everything, seemed to be getting better, and well now, here we are.

Compared to our current [resident, I thoroughly believe that Donald Trump loves America and the people in it. Before you jump and scream about "building the wall" and "banning all Muslims," you need to stop and fact check yourself first. He NEVER said at anytime that he didn't want people from other countries living here, he said that he wants them to enter legally, something our current president has no problem turning an eye too. When we opened up the border to Mexico, a lot of positive came over, but so did a lot of negatives. Mexico wrote America off as the time as a place to "dump prisoners and mental patients." Of course, we can also look at the drug trade that has thoroughly expanded and Mexico's involvement with it being so branched to America.

America needs someone to come in and run it exactly like a business—something many people are not too keen on. While all of you scream and yell and post to all these social media platforms about him being a racist and a misogynist and all these horrible things, I think it is important to look back before he was running against the Democrats and remind ourselves that he was never called a racist before stepping up to this plate. In my opinion, many people fear him more than they actually hate him. Reasons being that Trump wants to almost start from scratch and dedicate his four (or eight) years in office to truly "Make America Great Again."

Trump is not a politician, he is a business man. Going back to my opening paragraph, he has made a life turning nothing into something. He has molded a platform and basically flipped off the establishment and this is why many people are iffy in standing with him. Funny how the one word that elected Obama into Office is the one word that scares people into standing with Trump: "change."

He is not rehearsed. He is not taking all the suggestions and money from these people like he could be and turning it into exactly what we've seen in the past. With running his campaign off of only money comes from him should be a big deciding factor to some people that he is standing with the America people and will not let it be bought anymore. We need someone with his mindset to come in and work for the American people. When you fight as hard as him, it is hard to see him as anything other than what he really is: an American.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
