Trump's Apology Is Garbage

This is not about politics.

Trump's Apology Is Garbage
Business Insider

As I am sure you're aware, Donald Trump is currently grappling with the backlash of a leaked hot-mic video from 2005.

The fact that anyone who would ever say anything like that, regardless of when or where should be considered for the most powerful position in this country is beyond me, but let's take a look at his "apology."

To begin, his original apology excused his sexual assault condoning and confessing language as "locker room talk." He then went on to only apologize to "anyone who was offended."

HE IS NOT SORRY.

Anyone who apologizes for someone else being offended is not sorry for what they said or did. I cannot believe that has to be explained to anyone.

The reason his first apology was so offensively pathetic has to be due to the fact that no matter what he says, people are still choosing to vote for him! This has nothing to do with Hillary or even politics for that matter. He is a terrible human being and always has been. However, I am sure some brainwashed Trump Nut is raging behind the glow of their computer screen thinking, "But he re-apologized, so it's OK."

Why yes, yes he did. He used this opportunity to excuse this as "not an important issue" as if women being sexually assaulted by celebrities because they can, is not an issue. He used that opportunity to try to excuse his actions and words by stating that meeting "grieving mothers" on the campaign trail have changed him. He used this opportunity to say that his actions were not as bad a Bill and Hillary Clintons' like a thirteen-year-old trying to deflect the fact that they were caught with pot on their brother or by claiming that they drank the vodka and replaced it with water.

I refuse to accept the unsupported, fear-mongering claim that jobs are disappearing is more important than the safety and dignity of women.

I refuse to give a shit about how you think you are changed because you still say the same sexist, racist, and prejudiced bullshit. Moreover, why were you ever like that in 2005 anyway? That's not 1955, so there is no believable reason for thinking these remarks are even a little bit understandable. I mean, hell, if someone said that in 1955, they'd still be an asshole.

I refuse to accept your deflection on to the Clintons because I cannot stand any of you. We get it; you're all terrible, but you, you rotten excuse for a human being, are the worst of them all.

This is not a matter of politics. This is a matter of being a decent human. If you respect a single woman in your life, you will not vote for this pile of garbage. Don't even vote for Hillary if you hate her that much. I don't care. Write in Mickey Mouse, but whatever you do, do not allow this evil stupidity to be our legacy.

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
