This election is driving me crazy. Between the scandals, emails, plagiarism and just about everything else, America needs a hero. If only Leslie Knope was real and could come save the day.

1. This entire election.

Honestly America, who are we? This election is like the blind leading the blind and choosing the lesser of the evil. Near impossible if you ask for my humble opinion. If Leslie doesn't understand it, there is no hope for any of us.

2. Those emails, though.

There is literal evidence that she is a criminal. But she is running for president. She even made a joke about it by saying how she joined Snapchat and loved that the messages disappeared by themselves. Sketchy Clinton, sketchy.

3. When Trump said he'd date his daughter.

This just ain't right.

4. When Clinton said that her husband has never lied to her.

I mean are you sure? Seems like there was at least ONE time...

5. When Trump made fun of a handicapped reporter.

Not cool Trump, at all. PR nightmare to the max and your team must hate you.

6. The fact that Clinton contradicts herself almost always.

There are over a dozen times where Clinton has contradicted herself during many of her speeches from the present and past. It is so much that all I can do is laugh.

7. When Trumps wife basically stole some of Michelle Obama's speech.

I get that it was just a little section of the speech that was plagiarized, but really? You couldn't even change it just a little. Like a few words probably would've been a little better.

This entire election is draining the life and years out of me. The only good thing that came out of this election is probably all the memes of all the candidates. I think we should all just write in Leslie Knope in the ballot. For the love of all that is sane and good.

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.
