An Open Letter To Donald Trump Before The Election
Oliver Willis

Dear Mr. Trump,

I can honestly commend you for making it this far in the election. You fought all odds and beat everyone’s expectations by being here at this point. Despite this, I can say that I despise you.

You think that by intimidating and scaring people, you’ll get your way. You think that by perpetuating distasteful stereotypes people will like you. Well, you are wrong.

Your racist and derogatory rhetoric turn people away from your campaign. Whatever great ideas you may think that you have are completely obliterated when you open your mouth and let that steady flow of bigoted garbage flow.

You are not a trustworthy man, be it with the multiple times you’ve gone bankrupt or the numerous times you’ve engaged in affairs outside of your current relationships. If you can’t be trusted in your business or personal life, how can a nation of hundreds of millions of people trust you with top-secret information, nuclear codes, and time-sensitive data?

You are also offensive to almost everyone you meet. You can’t meet a single person without making a snarky comment about their character or behavior. Is it possible for the US to have strong diplomatic relations with any other country if you treat them this same way?

You’ve alienated large groups of people, be it women, Hispanics, African-Americans or other groups with your thoughtless actions and belief that you can marginalize whole groups of people and still win the election.

Your privilege disgusts us all. You think that starting with only one million dollars makes your life hard. What about families that barely survive on $20,000-$30,000 a year? You don’t understand the plight of a common man. Those of us who are willing enough to become entrepreneurs have to take loans from the banks of tens of thousands of dollars, struggling and wondering how we will ever pay them back. We don’t have the luxury of being given millions of dollars and then complaining about it.

You also lie more than any other candidate. The fact-checkers after every debate show that half your statements are wrong. When you claim to your opponent that you never said certain things, evidence will pull up, showing that you did indeed do and say those things.

Honestly, Mr. Trump, I can’t wait for election day. I can’t wait for you to finally get what you deserve – a loss. Maybe then you’ll learn that racism, sexism, homophobia, and overall nastiness won’t get you everything in life.

Sincerely,

Every individual in the United States

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?
