Top 5 WTF Moments During The DNC
CNN

In comparison to the RNC, the week before, the DNC was expected to be much smoother and less outrageous. However, issues began pouring in since day one.

1. Wikileaks reveal.


In yet another email scandal for the Democrats, Wikileaks published thousands of emails between staffers of the DNC which discussed ways to undermine Bernie Sanders' campaign during the primaries. This gave evidence to the worst kept secret in the Democratic Party, the DNC preferred Hillary to win. The head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, insisted of being neutral until now and was booed by Sander supporters when she took the mic Monday of the convention. She promptly resigned as the chair, only to be scooped up later by Hillary's campaign.

2. Bernie gets booed


Despite the new revelations, Bernie still a job to do. That same day, Bernie addressed his supporters, urging them to support and vote for Hillary Clinton. That did not fare well as his own supporters booed him as he tried to calm them down while saying "this is the reality we live in."

3. Sarah Silverman rant


That same night, Sarah Silverman and Senator Al Franken took to the stage. The night's theme was unity and to display that, Franken (a Hillary Supporter) and Silverman (a Bernie supporter) tried to show that bruised feelings can heal. Silverman tried to explain that Bernie supporters can still rally behind Hillary but was booed by ardent Bernie supporters. She eventually went off script, "to the Bernie or Bust people, you're being ridiculous," which prompted even louder boos from the audience.

"You're being ridiculous"

4. Sander delegates stage fart in


To show their commitment to Bernie and defiance to Hillary and the DNC, delegates pledged to Bernie staged a fart in. Prior to Hillary's speech, delegates chowed down on beans and would let it rip during Hillary's acceptance speech to show what they really thought of her.

5. Hillary's critics


After Hillary's acceptance speech, some critics attacked her delivery instead of her content. Specifically, lamenting over her lecturing and aggressive tone with many saying that she should calm down and smile more. More of this to come if she is elected as President.

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?
