The Lesser Of Two Evils

The media has played a huge part in this election.

The Lesser Of Two Evils

On November 9, 2016, a historical moment in the United States happened that will bring shame to our country. A racist, bigot, reality TV star, businessman, with no political experience will become president in January of 2017. Along with his porno star/model wife Melania Trump, who will become our first lady (GREAT JOB AMERICA). This election has been a shame to our country, and I’m disgusted at the fact that the American public chose Hillary R. Clinton as the DNC candidate for presidency during the primary election. But, I’m not shocked at the fact that Donald J. Trump was chosen as the republican candidate during the primary.

We all know for a fact that Trump based his campaign on being racist, sexist, misogynistic, and childlike. I despise the fact that the media never showed how deeply flawed Clinton is. She was never the best choice; if anyone voted for her, they voted for declaring militarism, economic inequality, and an ignorant liberal racist. What I mean by an ignorant racist: she is basically a right wing wolf in reformist sheep’s clothing. Also, her words can say that she stands for gay rights, equality rights, black lives matter, and the working middle class, but her actions are completely different from what she is saying.

The media has had a huge part in this election. They never paid any attention to the Green Party or the Libertarian party. They were having a “field day” for months with Trump and Clinton. Shame on the democratic party for not taking Trump’s candidacy seriously. Trump was treated as a joke, but never was a joke. That is the democratic party’s fault and because of that, they only strengthened Trump.

LET THIS SINK IN… 63% white males and 52% white females voted for Trump. 62% Latino males and 68% Latino females voted for Hillary Clinton. 80% black males and 93% black females voted for Hillary. The majority of these votes were from millennials ages around 18 to 29.

This election was complete utter TRASH; these two candidates were the worst choices. This woke me up to the fact that this entire political system which includes racism, white supremacy, patriarchy, sexism, capitalism, and free market needs to be dismantled and overhaulled.

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.
