I'm Not Afraid Of A Trump Presidency

A H. Clinton presidency is another story.

I'm Not Afraid Of A Trump Presidency

First and foremost, I'm not a Trump supporter nor am I a Hillary supporter. Politics leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but due to my age, I have to start getting into it. When I learned about each candidate, I slowly picked a favorite and waited until this dreaded time of the year. Now, with two interesting choices, I'm left with deciding which one I'm less scared of. Honestly, I'm not scared of a Trump presidency.

Trump has little to no history in politics. For some that's a little terrifying, but in a way it's like a breathe of fresh air. It will give a whole new perspective on how this country is run and how we will get through these hardships. Sometimes you have to take a step back and gain a new perspective to truly achieve something great. Maybe a business perspective is what America needs to be successful.

He's had multiple failures along with successes. Someone who knows how to handle a failure and come back from it, is someone I'd like to see in power. Some of the most successful people, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Walt Disney, failed a few times before achieving their success. Trump can take his experiences and apply them to his presidency. I believe that if Trump comes across a problem in office, he won't stop until he succeeds.

He's not under federal investigation. Not to throw Hillary under the bus, but Trump hasn't committed a federal crime. I don't know about you, but I can't trust someone who leaked government secrets, no matter who they are and what experience they have. Trump might be a little sly, but he's not a criminal.

He's a business man. Businessmen can be sneaky and manipulative, but that's what makes them good at their jobs. He's sneaky, but it's necessary. If everyone knew his plans and secrets, his business would never be a success. Manipulation is good to a certain extent. He wants a certain bill passed that'll better the healthcare system? He can give a speech and manipulate the public and superiors into supporting it.

He's straight forward. Obviously, Trump isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. If he sees a problem or has a problem with something, he's going to state it. With Trump being president, I don't think we'll be left in the dark.

Trump's life experiences and lack of a political background, makes me a little more comfortable with the thought of his presidency. He's a man of his word and has harsh opinions. I'm not with her, or him for that matter, but I'm ready to see America be great again. Bring on the Trump presidency; I have no fear.

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.
