What A Time To Be Alive...

A Trump supporter rally is going to happen at the same time as a Juggalo rally.

I can't believe I forgot to date my calendar for tomorrow. September 16th is a very special day! It's a good thing that I remembered the event planned to take place in Washington, it's not every day I get to see a clash between Juggalos and Trump supporters. That is right, Juggalos and Trump supporters are going to be protesting in Washington this Saturday! Grab some popcorn and a soda, because it's about to go down. I know this is all so sudden-you're probably just as shocked as you are discombobulated, but bear with me for a second. I'll give you a quick run down on the situation at hand.

Let me give you a quick explanation of the motifs behind both parties. I'll start with the Trump supporters; here by known as "the Trumps". Apparently the Trumps are holding a "mother of all rallies" in support of "traditional" American culture. They want to show the fake mainstream media, leftists, and ultimately the world that America stands united with Trump; ready to protect their culture and boarders from globalist invaders. On the opposite side of ring, we have the Juggalos. In case you don't know, Juggalos are what the fans of musical hip hop group Insane Clown Posse call themselves. Unfortunately, their public image is less than stellar. To most people they are known as rambunctious, annoying fans who enjoy covering everything within their vicinity with Faygo, and have bad taste in music. The internet is no friend either as they've largely become a meme. In fact, their brand is so tarnished, the FBI has labeled them a "hybrid gang," which is exactly why they are protesting this Saturday. Unlike the former's motive, this is no laughing matter. They can lose their jobs and even the custody of their children.

It is interesting to note that the music group does not support racism (one of their songs actually attacks the confederate flag as a cultural symbol), so it will be interesting to see these two protest-rallies take place. Some people believe there will be a clash, while some believe otherwise. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling until tomorrow becomes today.

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.
