To The People Of The United States

We still have so much to be thankful for after this historic election.

Dear People of the United States,

I understand that you are afraid. I understand if you are worried for what the future holds with Donald Trump as our next President of the United States. I understand that as a young white woman, I don’t understand everything you’re feeling, but I’m trying to.

This election was a historical event in our country’s history that will always be remembered. It was a hard race and fought well. With all the emotions that are flooding conversation and the Internet, there’s still plenty of things to remember after this big moment in history.

We are so blessed to live in this country.

America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. America is the land of immigrants and opportunity. America was always great and still is.

I understand many of you may not like Donald Trump, but please give him a chance.

Having a new president is always a scary thing. There has always been a group of people who do not like the president-elect, but please give this newest president-elect a chance to prove himself. Everyone deserves a chance. Let’s give Donald Trump one.

The Constitution guarantees us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Donald Trump is not going to be allowed to run around Washington and do whatever the heck he wants. The Constitution guarantees us many rights, and he will not be allowed to make whatever changes he wants without the approval of Congress. And to go along with that, there are still plenty of people in Washington with their head screwed on straight who will make sure we are going down the right path in this country.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

We need to unite together as one country. As one people. As one. Period. We need to unite and give Donald Trump a chance to prove himself to us as the next President of the United States. Remember, even in times where it seems like everything is going wrong and nothing is right, united we stand, divided we fall.

Sincerely,

A citizen with hope for the future

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.
