Why I'm A Millennial That's Voting Trump

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump knows what he is talking about.

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is not afraid to say what he thinks. He has big plans for the country and there are a ton of people ready to support him. This past week, Trump officially accepted the Republican nomination.

In his closing speech Thursday, Trump said "I am the law and order candidate." His speech was about justice and what is deserved. His whole speech was about justice and equality. He said he will work to insure that all of our kids are treated and protected equally. While the media wants to focus on racism and the divide between cultures, Trump used his speech to focus on closing the gap and making sure everyone is treated equally with the same opportunities. For those of you who say he is against homosexuals, he even made sure he gave a full spill on how he will do everything in his power to continue to protect the rights of the LGBTQ community.

And of course, to finish up his speech he threw in one of his favorite topics: ISIS. He plans on working with Israel to eliminate the massive threat we are facing as Americans. He plans on suspending immigration from any country that has been compromised. There are many people against this idea, but personally, I believe this is a great idea. Trump said "I only want to let people into our country who will support our values and love our people." I completely agree with this. Immigration is not the problem. The problem is the immigration system that is in place. There are terrorists slipping in the cracks and endangering the lives of millions of people in the United States.

His slogan is "Make America Great Again." To me, this means make America strong. Make America the country that, historically, other countries did not want to mess with. It means make America the country where someone dreams of coming to make a life for themselves. America was not built on the idea that we are entitled to sit on our butts all day and live off of handouts. America was founded on the idea of hard work. Hard work that earns you a living to support your family.

The idea of hard work no longer exists. You work all week just to have half of your paycheck go to taxes. What happens to the taxes? They are used to give money to those who are too lazy to work for their own money. NOTE: I am not saying government programs are all bad. The idea they represent is great. I am saying they are extremely misused. It has come to a point where many people abuse the system so they do not have to work. There are also situations where the programs make it hard for someone to break free. I am simply trying to make a point that if you are not trying, you do not deserve any government assistance.)

So, love him or hate him, Donald Trump knows what he is talking about. He knows business, economy, and politics. He is not a politician. He is not afraid to speak his mind. He may offend you, but you know what he is saying is the truth (or at least what he believes is the truth). You do not have to attempt to read between the lines and try to decipher the hidden meanings.

Yes, I am a millennial. Yes, I am voting Trump.

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. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
