Trump's RNC Entrance Was Breathtaking

Graham Digital

The Republican National Convention wrapped up on July 21. Donald Trump, now the official Republican nominee for the presidency, made a speech that got a lot of people excited. Republicans remarked about how relatively un-Trump the speech was. Democrats called him a fear-mongerer because he painted a dark picture of America over the past eight years and a darker picture of what he thinks a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like.

But quite frankly, I don't care much about his acceptance speech. His entrance on Monday night was more important and, quite frankly, much more electric.

I don't fashion myself a fan of Donald Trump, the presidential candidate. That being said, everything Trump does I find myself sitting back, shaking my head and smiling. So I guess I'm a huge fan of the character, the persona he puts on.

This entrance was straight out of WWE. Professional wrestling (a fake sport) brought to life (through a very real presidential race). It was artistry. It was a power move. It was electric.

Do I think Trump would make a great president? Hell no. (Do I think Hillary would make a great president? Hell no.) But... I think there is one move the Donald could've pulled that would've made him a lock to inhabit the Oval Office starting Jan. 20, 2017.

He shouldn't have picked Mike Pence to be his running mate. Donald Trump is the guy you imagine would come out of a combination of The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Savage, a smoking hot wife (uh...wives) and billions of dollars. After all, he is the only presidential candidate in history to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Which is to say, Pence was a safe, bullsh*t pick for V.P. If Trump really cared about winning, he would've run with Vince McMahon by his side. #TrumpMcMahon2016.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
