I'm sure many of us have mixed emotions about what the future of this country holds for us. But, rest assured, on January 20th, we can all get the opportunity to really experience and witness what our democracy is truly all about. Whether during this election past election year you supported Trump, Hillary or a third- party candidate, we can all try our hardest to eliminate any differences we carry amongst us.

Many of my readers know that I am a huge Trump supporter, I supported him once I knew there was no more hope for this nation, once I realized that this was our last possible chance to save ourselves from high unemployment rates, jobs removed from the United States, our borders being insecure, to so many other things, this list could go on and on.

But, regardless, we can all come together, eradicate the many divisions and unite as "one nation under god" as our founding fathers would have wanted us to do. The thing that outraged me the most was the days following the election, people protesting and rioting on the streets about the results of the election.

In just eleven days from now, that day will be here, when we can all witness history. The oldest president taking office in the history of the United States, and for the first time someone from the outside who will accomplish goals and commit his life to everyday Americans. He will be an advocate for those who can not advocate for themselves.

We are in for a real journey these next four years, that will hopefully result in President-elect Trump following through on his promises. It is my true hope that everyone will get the chance to tune in and watch the inauguration ceremony on television or online.

Now, let us hope that during Trump's presidency that we can all, "Make America Great Again"! Thank you for reading and god bless!

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
