Can this shit just be over?

My Rant About Politics
Faking News

So, today is FINALLY Election Day.

I don’t know about y’all, but I am so happy about this! I cannot wait for politics to not be the main topic of conversation everywhere I go. I cannot wait for people to stop arguing over politics. I cannot wait for people to stop being such assholes over whatever political views they have. I cannot wait for people to stop sharing political bullshit on Facebook.

This election has been an absolute joke and a disaster!

I know this all won’t stop once we have a new president either. I have never seen so much trash talking and hatred than I have during this election season. I wish we could go back in time to when it was considered rude to ask people who they voted for or what their political views were!

Now don’t get me wrong, I think it is great that we all want to be involved, especially people my age. Because we, as millennials, tend to get a bad name. Millennials are believed to not care about anything but ourselves and not contribute a damn thing to society, but my Facebook newsfeed would suggest otherwise. I have seen more people my age on Facebook really talking politics and discussing some of the big issues that are on the table this election season than ever before. I am also not saying they are all good posts or that they are backed with good hard facts. Nonetheless, most of them were good and stuck to their guns on what they believed in..And that is great!

With all that being said… I have noticed that, no matter what age group, that nobody can handle or respect other people’s opinions. IF YOU MUST talk politics on social media then be prepared for someone to comment with a different opinion and point of view. If you can’t handle it and or respect it then don’t make a post and KEEP YOUR DAMN OPINIONS TO YOURSELF!

That’s all I have to say on politics because, well, I’m so sick of talking and hearing about it. Now someone pass me a bottle of wine to get me through the rest of this week.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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?
