Splitting Up The Union

Sacrificing The Great To Save The Small

Splitting Up The Union
Wikipedia

Hey everyone! It’s your good friend Andrew (Panama) Godfrey here with the last update on this mini-series I’m doing on making America great again. On this special final update I’m going to propose probably the most radical idea ever conceived. For such a radical idea I’m abstaining from going much into depth and not using any outside sources. This will be purely opinion, nothing more. In one fowl swoop I plan to change America for the better. This idea is so radical that I bet most of you readers will think it is a joke but, just to clarify, I’m dead serious. This idea of mine is not original and I don’t claim it to be. There is actually a book published about this very topic. However, I’m going to keep this short and sweet since we, Americans, all love short and sweet things that are easy to read.

This idea that I have is about splitting up the “Union” that we have so graciously made into the corporate wasteland it is known as today. That right, split up America in about 7-9 provinces or “pieces”. Now this may be radical to some of you but I promise it is possible to do. All the details on the plan are online, a whole slew of them really. Actually I just read that a Russian political analysis predicts it and I’m sure others do as well.

Around now, you're either not reading anymore or you are curious if this idea would work. The short answer is yes, splitting up America would actually be very beneficial for the union as a whole. With each province having its own government, they are smaller and thus it is easier for government to be aware of what is going on and, also due to smaller size, governments will be able to listen easier. Also, every province, if divided correctly, will have all of the natural resources and such in order to be a completely self-sufficient state within itself.

So there is my opinion: let’s split up and make it a little easier to fix the problems that are plaguing this country.

Expect a new format once this gets posted, a little more upbeat. Please share this blog with any friends or

family that have some doubts on the way things are done around here. As always this is Andrew Godfrey signing off and telling all of you to have a great day.

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.
