If you were home Monday night, chances are that you watched the debate. You probably watched both candidates go at it and try to make a good impression on the crowd. One candidate definitely did do this and one did not.

To start with, each candidate received a fair amount of time, Trump receiving a bit more, and each tried to make themselves heard. The Presidential debates are the place where you want to make yourself well known and liked so that you have a better chance of getting elected into office. The thing that makes me believe that Hillary did better than Trump is, she actually said what it is that she wanted to do. When asked a question, she responded with her plan. She didn't interrupt 22 times every 26 minutes (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/electi...), she didn't dodge questions and she didn't not admit to things. She was straight forward and gave her answer. She added in humor which is a great way to make people like you. Donald Trump dodged the questions and tried to attack Clinton instead. Is he trying to hide something? Was he unprepared? Perhaps. If you read the transcript of the debate (http://www.npr.org/2016/09/26/495115346/fact-check...), you can see many times where Trump just fell so behind Clinton.

In conclusion, Trump was unprepared, arrogant to admit to things, and simply didn't say what he was actually going to do. Clinton, on the other hand, was prepared, admitted to things, and said how she's going to do things. A good strategy that Trump doesn't have.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
