This One's For You, President Trump

Dear President Trump,

Wel,l you have done it. You have won the general election and now your inauguration will be held on Friday.

January 20th, 2017 will be a historic day; a day that you will be acknowledged for the rest of time. This will be a day just like back in 2009 when the citizens of the United States of America elected their first African-American president. Yet this time, the citizens chose you, a celebrity over a politician.

You won; however, I understand that certain citizens still want to complain about Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes. They just don't understand the concept that states like California, New York, Texas, and Florida could run the whole election because of their population. I can understand that. No one likes to lose.

Now I must assure you that I was shocked with the result. I thought for sure that Hillary Clinton was going to be our next president. Though when I heard about the results, I did not cry, I did not skip class, I did not have to be coddled but I simply just carried on with my life analyzing why liberals were so hostile towards you.

Now let me be clear Mr. Trump, I can see that the media has successfully manipulated people into viewing you as an individual with pure hate. Now I know that the media has cut and shaped video content to make you look horrendous, but you cannot hide from verbally attacking others. Though lucky for you, the media's plan backfired. If it didn't, America would have been left with a president that, in my opinion, could not be trusted.

As I continued to ponder why radical liberals were rioting as well as sending out death threats to your voters, it hit me. Americans just want to be able to say that they are proud to be Americans. Unfortunately, our corrupted media has warped the minds of many Americans to see only the negative in you and not the positive.

So this is where I am going to call you out. I want to challenge you. I want you to prove everyone who has doubted wrong. I want you, Donald J. Trump, to ignite a spark in America.

I am a strong believer in judging a person by their actions and not by their words. From the media's standpoint, most people have already judged you by your words. Although I have not been a huge fan of you, I am waiting to see what your actions are before I give you my trust. Did you know that the saying "Actions speak louder than words" goes a long way? You as POTUS should make it a priority to earn the trust of our beloved Americans.

Keep your promises. I understand that you do not illegal immigrants coming to our nation and neither does most of the immigrants who come to America that are LEGALLY trying to obtain their citizenship. Yet your whole campaign has had a miscommunication of what you are really trying to accomplish.

That be being said, I hope that you will see our broken nation as it is and do everything in your power to unite America as a whole. Apply to both parties and not just your own. You now have America on your back. With much hesitation, I will say that you are my president. I now rely on you to be the voice of America. The citizens of the United States deserve to know the truth.

I am going on complete faith will your presidency. America and the rest of the world are now watching you like a hawk. If you do right by America, then America will only do right to you. But please heed my advice, if you perhaps let power go to you head, then Americans will unite to bring to down with whatever means possible. That is not a threat, that is just a history lesson. Again, if you so happen to continue to break our already broken country, then I will be the first one to sign up to take you out of office.

So, President Trump, I want to wish you well on your journey as President. I am not too fond of your cabinet, but like I said, I am going to use faith moving forward. Don't let Americans down and keep your word on making America great again.

Yours truly,

A citizen who desperately wants to put 'United States' back into U.S.A.

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.

"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?
