Trump Is In Charge Now

Trump is our president now and we have started our journey into a new era. I believe now would be a great time for some optimistic skepticism. Throughout the election cycle, I have been critical of Trump, I did not even vote for him on November 8th. Looking into the future we should be optimistic, though, for we have a republican-controlled house and senate. Former president Obama (I'm going to love saying that) has performed awfully domestically and has been disastrous on a foreign level. America wanted change and now we have it.

On Friday when Trump was sworn in, many leftists flooded the streets of D.C. to attempt to disrupt the inauguration. My favorite part is that they will cry fascism, yet I believe that they do not even know the definition of fascism. Our last great president, Ronald Reagan quoted someone in an interview stating that if fascism were to ever come to America, it would come in the name of liberalism. These protesters need to understand that if they want eight years of Trump, acting like entitled children throwing tantrums because they didn't get their way is one way to get more Trump.

The very next day after the inauguration was the Women's March where they were marching for something and mad about something. I do not care that I am a man giving my thoughts on it, and I am not going to "check my privilege". I need someone to please tell me one right that men have that women don't. I am only asking for one. I would also like to know why a group that represents all women excluded women who are pro-life. It is also hypocritical that one of the Women's March organizers supports sharia law and has ties to Hamas. The Women's March should be called Trump's Reelection Campaign instead. It has been full of hypocrisy and beta males.

The insanity from the left is driving people towards Trump. They will demonize those who supported him while chanting "Love Trumps Hate". The most divisive people have been those on the left and they have not learned their lesson yet. We all have a new president and we all need to allow ourselves to be open to the changes that will occur. We must criticize when necessary and give credit where credit is due. For the past 8 years, democrats have praised Obama on everything no matter how much damage his policies have caused. Republicans need to hold Trump's feet to the fire. I am going to be optimistic while also being skeptical of what lies ahead. You can throw your tantrums and scream "not my president" for however long you want, but honestly, suck it up and act like an adult.

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.
