4 Questions I Have For President Donald J. Trump
CNN

There are several issues I have with our new President, I won't be shy about that. I won't tell you he's #notmypresident because he is, whether or not I like it or not.

No, I'm here today to talk about some real things I need President Trump to clarify on and soon if at all possible. I, like many of you, recently read through the "issues" section of the new white house website, which you can read here . He has many good things listed here, but very little explanation for how these things will come about. Here are some questions I'd love to ask our new President.

1. The issue of Energy

President Trump, you mention that you will do away with the waters of the US rule, stating that it will benefit American workers; however, I am confused about how this rule is hurting Americans currently. The idea behind the rule is that we will allow the EPA to help protect American waters, I'm confused about why this bad. I'd love your clarification on this matter.

Another issue Mr. President is about using American shale and gas. You state that this will allow many Americans to have jobs and bring prosperity, however, this is an area of commerce that is highly unregulated. I not only know people who work in the oil fields, but my family itself has suffered first-hand from the under regulation of the companies involved in this business. Are there going to be changes made before we begin encouraging the use of this energy or will it remain the same?

You made no mention of renewable energy sources Sir, are there any in the works?

2. Making our military strong again

You propose a new budget for congress to look at that would increase our military and also benefit Veterans and give them real resources. I'd first like to say, I whole heartedly support the cause of taking care of our Veterans, however I am concerned about where this money is coming from. Where will we find the money we need to bring this about Mr. President?

3. Supporting our Law Enforcement

You say you want to lower crime rates, but there is no explanation of how this will be done. You also say we need to support our law enforcement officers, I again agree, but how are we going to do this? Are we going to turn a blind eye to corruption and not regulate them as well? There is a problem with the justice system currently, and this is an issue that needs to be addressed.

My question is, how are we going to support them? Are we going to provide more services to officers? Are we going to increase their pay? I'm truly curious about how you plan on making this happen Sir.

4. All of the rest of my questions

Sir, Betsy DeVos? I am confused. She claims to want to help the American Education system, which I support, I think there are many flaws in it, however she surely does not seem equipped for the job. I'd love to know your reasoning behind nominating her Sir. If we are giving our country back to citizens, why did you nominate a billionaire who frankly Sir, doesn't seem to understand anything about how the nation's education system works or the needs of the citizens nationwide. How does she represent the needs of the common family? Would it not be better to nominate someone who has experience in the school system, who has a vested interest in making sure that our children get the best education they can? Why would you choose someone who has made her money from lobbying. I'm just baffled by this Sir.

You have not mentioned how you plan on helping students yet. Student Debt is a beast, and so many Americans are starting out their adult lives as slaves to the lenders. What are you going to do about this? Help us, because this is surely not right.

You are repealing the Affordable Care Act, so what do you suggest take it's place? Would it not have been better to wait to repeal it until you had something to take its place. Millions are going to lose their converage, what are they going to do in its absence? I understand it wasn't a perfect system, but what will happen to those people?

SIr, how will you truly show everyone you are for the working class? So far we have seen a lot of talk and very little action, or even explanation about how this talk will come to fruition. How are you going to radically change the political status of this country when you are still playing by its elitist rules?

I don't wish to see you fail sir, for you are the president and this would lead to the destruction of our nation. I did not choose you, but now you are here, and I understand that. Please, Sir, show us how you plan to make our nation great again, because I, a common in debt American college student of many minorities, am scared, Sir. I do not feel safe and I beg of you to reassure us. Prove us wrong.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
