Stop Being So Hateful About The Election

"He won, get over it," isn't helping either.

Never in a million years did I think one election could make America as divided as it is right now. Never did I think there would be such an outpouring of hate because you support a certain candidate. Never did I think we all could be stoop low.

I will admit, I didn't want Trump to win. I believed he had no chance at winning, and was completely unfit to run our country. On the other side of the spectrum, I know many people who thought the same way about Hillary Clinton.

No matter what the outcome of this election was going to be, no one was going to be happy. Since we live in a world that revolves around social media, we all know someone who is unhappy. The hateful, arrogant, and down right rude things I've seen on the internet since Nov. 8 have truly shocked me.

Anyone who voted for Trump is a rapist and now all of America is going to grab women by the p**sy because that's who we elected. F**k all the hillbillies who voted Trump in, you're all uneducated. Idiots everywhere, if you voted Trump go kill yourself.

Really guys? This is what you feel you need to say online?

What is that going to accomplish?? I get you're upset he won, I am too, but it happened, he's president. Stereotyping people on Facebook or Twitter and making them feel like trash isn't going to fix anything. Does it make you feel better? Do you think you're making Hillary proud?

Trump supporters: stop engaging with them! Does posting a hateful comment on their social media rant really make you any better than them? You're doing the same thing as them. Ignore it and keep scrolling, your comment will do nothing to help the situation.

Also, the term millennial doesn't just mean "stupid teenagers" as most people think. A millennial can be up to 34 years old. It's someone born from 1982 through the 2000's. So you can quit blaming everyone under 25 for the worlds problems now, thanks.

No one is happy in this election, we get it. Your Facebook rants about Trump being a racist and how Hillary needs to be in jail aren't going to do anything but make people angry. For once can we act like a civilized nation?

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.
