Is This Really The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave?

Our country is a joke right now, better yet my country is a joke right now. What has this country came to? We are killing Christians, killing gays, killing blacks, and killing arabs, KILLING KILLING KILLING.... we are killing everyone. To make matters even worse we protest to have our voices be heard and we end up killing each other. I know America is filled with intelligent, kind, and loving people so why hasn't this clicked in their heads, killing is not the answer, rioting is NOT the answer, and racially profiling people are not the answer. We are a family, and "A house divided against itself cannot stand. We have other countries attacking us, and we are attacking each other. The two choices we have for president are the most ridiculous jokes I have ever seen in this country. Neither of them will be able to fix this house divided and when the election comes, there will only be more rioting, more killing, and our economy will fail. The end times are near. Regardless of the religion you believe in, the end times are near. It will be brother against brother, stealing, killing, and chaos. I encourage you all before you speak, and before you act, to think what would my God think of me. Because there is an up roaring about to occur and the people who we trust to protect us are now scared. Yes, these police who have been shooting to kill are sick, and our voices need to be heard, but from a police stand point they are scared of the people. The once brave soldiers we had are scared, and that's probably why they shot before he thought. This is not an excuse for what they have done. We don't know if it's the hatred that is within the police hearts that they have towards African Americans, or if they genuinely are scared. Regardless what they have done is not okay. But what we have done isn't either. Rioting in the streets is not the answer. What will that resolve? There has to be another way to end this war and risking your lives isn't the answer. I am a mixture of many different races including African American, Caucasian, Hispanic, and Arabic. I can tell you from my personal experience , this is no longer a race thing, this is a people hating other people thing. Put down your weapons you fight with! Instead of coming to the table with the problem come to the table with a solution! What can you do as an individual to stop this chaos. Don't be apart of the problem, be apart of the solution. This article is to warn you all that this is only going to get worse. It will no longer be your friends who riot beside you that will be affected, it will be your children and your family that will have to suffer in result of the rioting, the shooting people due to color, the racially profiling people, and the hatred the US has towards each other.

May God have mercy on our souls. I pray for all of you. And I only hope we can end this war once and for all.

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?
