Last week, I was listening, watching and reading about the United States Senate and the Hearing on the nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh, to be an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

I was interested in this hearing because Judge Kavanaugh was already part of our government back in 1998 during the Bill Clinton impeachment. Before I begin I'd like to mention that not all progressives are Democrats and not all conservatives are Republicans.

What Happened?

Senator Kamala Harris of California, questions Judge Kavanaugh on many issues such as Abortion, Women's Rights and the thousands of documents not able to be opened to the public or questioned about. At the end of the hearings, herself and several others became tentative about the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh. Some were concerned about his allegiance to a political party more than to the constitution and the democracy that comes with it. Some even wanted to postpone the following hearings after day two of the hearings. Most Democrats are worried he will not help the citizens of this country but become a liability to the people. On the other hand, several Republicans like Senator Rob Portman of Ohio see him as a wonderful friend and a reasonable human. A person with moral values and a great example for the people. Both sides are heard and criticized by the people. One shows compassion and the other side questions the fact if Judge Kavanaugh is even the right man for the job. The whole hearing is about whether Judge Kavanaugh is suitable to be a Judge in the United States Supreme Court. Several progressives are not impressed and do not see any progression with Kavanaugh being a Judge in the United States Supreme Court - even some conservatives. Some like him because they may know him personally or he seems to know what he is doing in closed doors.

Personally, nothing was really answered in the hearings of Judge Kavanaugh but only time will tell.

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.
