If Trump Becomes President
Z News

The presidential race is seriously heating up as we near november. There are a lot of issues with all four candidates, but the Donald is obviously the worst. Being an American Muslim women, a lot of things will change for me. How do I know this? Right now he is simply the Republican Nominee and a lot of things have changed for me. So here are four of the most likely things that will to happen should DT grace us with his presidency:

1. Laws or bans against Muslims

Donald Trump has been promoting a hatred towards Muslims since he first announced his campaign. He has been suggesting this such as making all Muslims living in this country wear a tag, or banning any Muslims from entering this country. Now I am not completely unaware of how the government works, I know that it has to go through congress and such but I don't have much faith in them either...

2. Islamaphobia Gone Wild

There has always been a lot of Islamaphobia in this country, especially since 9/11. With the Donald all over the media every single day oozing hate out of his pores, the public has become a little more bold. There have been many attacks on Muslims walking in the streets, such as the Imam that got shot in New York or the Muslim women who's clothing was set ablaze. These things keep happening and they are not as far away as you think. I have been profiled and discriminated against right here in Springfield, I'm lucky all thats been thrown at me are words.

3. Shutting down of Masjids

Masjids across the nation will be shut down because of the hate speech. Either the government will close them down, claiming something like they're in cahoots with ISIS, or the masjids will shut down becuase of threats from the general public. Our own Islamic Center of Springfield was vandalized a short while back, so much so that it required about $15,700 in repairs.

4. Discrimination Against Refugees/Immigrants

Like I said before, The Donald wants to ban all Muslims from entering this counrty, including refugees. A lot of citizens, whether they agree with the majority of Trumps policies or not, do not argue against this one. What amuses me is that the same people who don't want refugees in this country can be found talking about moving to Canada should Trump get elected as Commander in Chief.

So there you have it my friends. It's a troublesome perdicament to say the least.

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.
