10 Things Millennial Republicans Are Tired Of Hearing

"You're only a Republican because your parents are."

This is probably the one that I hear the most and it's also the most annoying. Yes my parents are Republicans, and yes they were how I first learned about politics, but I'm also my own person and I have done my own research. I'm a Republican because my views coincide with the party, not just because my parents are.

"Oh, are you racist?"


No actually I'm not a racist, but thanks for asking.

"Do you even believe in women's rights?"

Considering I am a young women myself, yes I do believe in women's rights. I believe in equality between men and women - neither gender is more superior than the other one.

"You're uneducated and ignorant."

I do research on politics every single day and I am halfway through my junior year in college, so I'm pretty sure I'm not even close to being uneducated. And just because someone doesn't have the same views as you, doesn't mean they're ignorant.

"Aren't Republicans only old, white and rich men?"

I'm not old and I'm a woman, but I'm a Republican... so that's obviously not true. The modern Republican party is actually very diverse today, especially among the millennial Republicans. Everything changes with time, and that includes the Republican party.

"Republicans are close-minded."

Enough said.

"You're wrong."

Again, just because someone doesn't have the same views as you doesn't make them wrong.

"Let me tell you about being a Democrat, you'll change your mind."

I do my own research on both parties all the time, and I can assure you that I am not a Democrat and you will not change my mind for me.

"But... it's 2015."


Really? I had no idea what year it is, thanks for telling me.

"...ew."

Cool, thanks.

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.
