Why It Doesn't Matter Who Wins The Presidency

As November creeps upon us, the final stretch to the presidential nomination also will too, making us (America) decide what we're possibly going to do. Will we give in to ignorance or will we lie our way to the finish? Will we finally acknowledge our prolonged issues or will we cover them up like blemishes, acting as if they don't exist, but even when the facts are laid in front of us they are still dismissed?

As if there wasn't even a presidential candidate that actually cares about what's really happening here in the states; or worse, the citizens of this country have forgotten what even makes America "great" because it isn't the president but the people themselves, its called democracy we literally do do it for our own health but lately it seems we've been ill in our will, leaving our future in the hands of those unworthy. I must ask do these candidates really care about our failing environmental status or do they just want the glory? Or better yet is the value of a black life truly equal to those who try to drag us down or are we voting for the candidate who instead flips the scrip saying our lives are more comparable to clowns because clowns lives matter too in this failing social system that I see no candidate trying to fix (because they can't) it's we the people who must grant our own wish.It's we the people who can actually make the difference.

So long after the election when people are saying that's why I didn't vote for so and so, I'll just be sitting here laid back saying I told you so because it doesn't matter who is elected only who is connected which should be the American people standing together to make change, leaving no person undetected!

Not leaving it in the hands of people who just want to reign, bragging how they're not affected because it isn't Hilary or Trump who will teach your kids the significance of peace and equality, it'll only be their views that we are subjected to, hoping for America to become more like them, leaving you forgetting to be you! But I'm praying you know that we create our own path of freedom, it's something that we can choose, not blindly following behind candidates that only bring us the blues! As people we can choose to be better or we can choose to be worse, so it doesn't matter who wins the presidency as long as America remembers her worth!

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.
