My Questions for Donald and Hillary
The Telegraph

This past week, as we all know, was the event millions of people around the U.S. looked forward to, dreaded, feared, were excited for, and/or a mixture of all of these. I am talking about the first of 3 presidential debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. As a 20-year old college student, this election and the debates are very important for me because it is my first presidential election. As one of the millions of young adults who will become the future for this country, it is important to elect someone whose decisions will impact my life for not only the next 4 or 8 years, but beyond that too. Since I couldn't be at the first debate and I won't be able to make it to the next 2 either, here are some of the questions I would have asked them (political differences aside:

Question 1: What are your plans for Job growth/creation for college graduates?

As a college student in his junior year, it is time to start considering post-college plans, which means that I will have to get a job based on my area of study (Media Production.) With the media industry being a very popular and competitive industry as an example, what are your proposals to create new jobs to millions of college graduates?

Question 2: Without naming specific names, what are your strategies for combating terrorism and terrorist groups?

As terrorist attacks continue to occur overseas areas such as Europe and the Middle East, it seems like another one here in the US is inevitable. As it seems anyone can be suspicious of carrying out a gruesome attack, how can we intervene with the affairs of terrorist organizations? Should we do it on our own or with other countries?

Question 3: Hillary, where do you stand on immigration?

We all know where Donald stands on this but what's your plan as the first female president? Should people coming in to the country and veteran immigrants be kicked out even if they had proper paperwork? If not, what is they best way to assist them?

Question 4: What are your plans for gun control?

This, of course, has been a very polarizing topic in our country over the past several years but what do you think? How can we allow people the right to carry firearms without intruding the second amendment? And what about background checks, mental illness, and laws regarding hunting? Stuff's important, am i right?

Question 5: Donald, where do you stand on higher taxes for the wealthy elite?

As one of the world's wealthiest entrepreneurs, it is unfair that a person with billions of dollars has to pay very little while we, the working middle class, have to pay more. What do you believe is the best way to make the wealthy, overpaid elite that make up the 1% pay their fair shares come every tax season?

Question 6: What are your proposals for health care?

Everyone has a right to affordable, accessible medical care from a licensed medical professional. It doesn't matter what race, age, gender, or socioeconomic status you are-no one should be denied access to a doctor because they can't afford it. What are your plans to give people the medical attention they need?

Question 7 (Last One): Where do you see this country going by the end of your presidency?

Being the President of the United States is not a piece of cake (as much as I like cake.) The whole country will have your eyes on you every day for the next 4 or 8 years. What do you hope to accomplish by the end of your presidency and what do you think your legacy on this country will be?

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.
