Who Do You Truly Think Is Best for America?

Many people complain about both candidates in this year's election. I see and hear it all the time how neither Clinton or Trump is fit to be president, how they are both terrible and we "have" to pick between the lesser of two evils.

My question to the nation then is: Why are you going to vote for either?

Well over half of the people I know, maybe even 3/4ths believe that both candidates are awful. Assuming that this rough statistic is true for all of Americans, this would be the perfect year to have a third party candidate win. I want America to have the president that America thinks is best fit. I think it is universally understood that the Electoral College is something that needs to go, however, if one candidate does no receive over half (270/538) of the electoral votes, then it is up to the House of Representatives to chose the president. If this happens, each state will gather their representatives to provide only one vote per state as to who the president should be. If this happens, there is a better chance that someone fit to be president in the eyes of Americans will become president.

What am I trying to say?

All I am saying is, simply vote for who YOU thing is best for America. Do not simply vote party lines, do not vote based on peer pressure. Please do not not vote, because by not voting you are simply letting others chose the fate of America for you. Research the candidates for who they really are, not just what you see on social media and the news. If you think a write-in is best, do that! Because if what I believe is true, that over half of Americans see neither candidate to be fit for the Oval Office, then neither of the candidates will be voted in office!

So go vote, vote for who you think is best. The only person who will know who you voted for is you.

I definately support Trump, I think he is the best option for America right now. However, I want the president to be whoever America thinks is best for America right now.

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.

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.
