Who Are We Becoming?

No matter who is President, I promise you that Jesus is still King.

Who Are We Becoming?
Crosswalk.com

I am so sick and tired of all of the hate due to the Presidential Election. I know that people are upset that Trump is going to be President. Does criticizing his supporters change that fact though? Blaming others does not fix the problem. Slowly our Country is dividing and the problem does not lie with the government. The problem lies with the PEOPLE. Each and every person who is criticizing others for their support on either candidate is the problem. They are the reason our Country is dividing.

I, personally, do not agree with either of the candidates we were given.They both had so many issues and I cannot believe that they were the two we had to choose from, but they were our choices. America chose Donald Trump. I am scared and worried about our future, but I cannot change what has occurred. Instead of rioting, how about praying? No matter who is President, I promise you that Jesus is still King. Jesus still sits on His throne and nothing will change that.

I am beyond pissed that people are burning the America flag. You have to be 18 years old to vote. Did maturity skip these adults? The men and women who fought and/or fight for our freedom do not deserve your blatant disrespect. You are not hurting Trump by burning our flag, you are hurting those families that lost their loved ones who fought for our freedom. You are hurting those who are now disabled due to them serving their country. Men and women put their lives on the line everyday for idiots who do not deserve it. If you do not like or care for America anymore, then please do us all a favor and LEAVE.

I have friends that voted for Clinton and friends that voted for Trump. I refuse to throw away our friendship because of who they voted for and their opinions. We are all entitled to our opinions. In the words of one of my favorite teachers, "This has become the United States of the Offended." America is supposedly built on diversity but the second someone disagrees with you, you feel offended.

Some people will probably be extremely upset with me for this article. Yes I am white. That means nothing to me. I have friends of all races, religions, and beliefs. I love every single one of them. I would do anything for any of them which includes taking in their opinions without being offended. Donald Trump may very well be a racist pig. He probably is and I do fear for those I love, but there is nothing I can do about it now. Yelling, screaming, and rioting will not change anything. The only thing that I can count on is the promise of God. I can pray to God to give Donald Trump guidance on how to run our Country. I pray for his heart and I pray for America. Why do I pray? I pray because I am a mature young adult who knows that acting like an idiot will NOT do anything for me.

Please do not throw up the fact that I can say all of this because I am white. I KNOW I AM WHITE. I cannot help my race at all. It is not my fault that I am white. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I am not racist or judgmental in anyway. I love everyone and that is why I hit my knees and pray. Try it. God can make miracles happen.

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.
