I Had A Political Change of Heart...

The candidate we need to survive

I Had A Political Change of Heart...
UCONN

After endless threats, “constructive” criticisms, arguments, and self-realizations, I have officially decided to change my political party affiliation. I know how shocking that might come across to some people but I have finally seen the light. All over the internet I have striven to make my voice and opinions heard by the public only to get my thoughts destroyed in the end. It is time for a new never before seen direction for this country and even more importantly for the world. We need a completely different perspective if we are to have a future for our children.

I have identified with a specific candidate who I truly believe represents the people and supports equal opportunity for all who are living. Let me tell you a bit about this candidate I am choosing to support. Yes, this candidate has a lot of baggage. Yes, this candidate has made many mistakes. Yes, this candidate has done many questionable things that may have cost lives. But in the end, it was always done for the best interest of the whole. I think there needs to be a fundamental shift in the way we are governed and there needs to be tremendous reform in the way leaders are chosen. In the words of my candidate: "Everyone who's alive right now. Everyone's who's made it this far. We've done the worst kinds of things just to stay alive. But we can still come back. We're not too far gone. We get to come back. I know... we all can change..."

We need to stop playing around and start getting serious about the way we are choosing to present ourselves to outsiders and I believe my candidate is the only person who will get the job done. My candidate believes not only all citizens should be allowed to carry guns but should in fact be forced to bear arms at all times. My candidate believes food, medicine, and healthcare should be available to all those alive today. They are not focused on building more borders, they are not interested in gaining more support, they just want to keep us safe. To further quote my candidate: "You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, you risk your life. Every moment now... you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you are risking it for. Now, I can make these people feel better and hang on a little bit longer. I can save lives. And that's enough reason to risk mine."

A true carer of others, a family oriented person, and a strong believer of risk taking for the betterment of society, there clearly is no better candidate. My candidate had a long hard horror fraught battle against one of the toughest Governors this world has ever seen but in the end he prevailed! Going forward there may be even more dangerous and threatening opponents, it is inevitable in fact, but somehow, someway my candidate always digs deep and finds the will to win. This is the candidate I want to secure my future and a future for us all.

So on this day, I denounce my prior political affiliation and embrace with open arms a new candidate and a new government for us all... a true and total Ricktatorship. This is not a democracy anymore. Not only is our next President, Rick Grimes, a strong candidate, but his choice for Vice President, Daryl Dixon, is a courageous and selfless guy who will stop at nothing to keep us all safe. I suggest you truly think hard about your choice for President, because mine promises a "Walker Free New World."

All joking aside, I am truly excited for season 7 of "The Walking Dead" to air and it's coming just in time for us to have a break from all the political chaos. Maybe Rick, Daryl, and the rest of the gang can help us see that all Republicans, Democrats, and other parties alike, have much more in common than we think.

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.
