This Trump Sh*t Isn't Funny Anymore

We are genuinely worried.

This Trump Sh*t Isn't Funny Anymore
Business Insider

When Donald Trump first announced that he was going to be running for president, we all had a good laugh. We all thought it was some kind of a joke. It was funny because why would this man with absolutely no political experience be running for president? He’s more fit to be a star on a trashy reality TV show than a political leader. At first, yeah, this Trump thing was funny, but now, I’m worried. He’s been winning states in the primaries. He’s starting to look like he has a shot. He is likely to be the Republican nominee. This Trump sh*t isn’t funny anymore.

Donald Trump is a disrespectful, arrogant and vile human being and he has no business being the leader of our country. He’s telling people what they want to hear but most likely is not going to be able to back anything he promises up. He has no political experience. He walked into his millions to the thanks of his father who has also had to bail him out when he’s messed up. Trump has gone bankrupt four times. He considered his father's one million dollar loan to be a “small loan.” Clearly he’s money smart. *insert annoyed face here*

I’ve heard people mention that they don’t care that Trump insults people, or that they don’t care that he’s crude or uneducated about certain topics. Why don’t you care? Someone who’s going to be running our country needs to be respectful of more than just middle-class, white males. So yes, it matters that he called undocumented Mexican immigrants drug dealers, criminals and rapists. Yes, it matters that when asked tough and relevant questions by Meghan Kelly his response was simply that she must be on her period. Yes, it matters that he would say something as disgusting as that his daughter has a nice body and that if she was not his daughter, he would probably be dating her. Yes, it matters that he mocked a disabled person on television. Yes, it matters that he doesn’t respect women. Yes, it matters if he’s extremely racist. It matters.

We need a leader who has our entire country’s interest at heart, collectively. Donald Trump doesn’t care about our country. He’s a power-hungry, ego-maniac. I am disgusted and terrified that Trump is actually winning as many of the primaries as he has. Don’t get me wrong, this entire election is a sh*tshow -- most of the candidates are looking that great, but unfortunately when it comes to politics, we become forced to pick the lesser of two evils. Well, let me tell you, the lesser of two evils is not Donald Trump. This isn’t funny anymore. It’s scary and lots of us are exhausted from having to try and explain to people what is wrong with this man. We are scared. This is not funny anymore.

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.

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.
