Why You Should Give President-Elect Trump a Chance!
www.MSNB.com

Donald Trump has done what all mainstream media outlets said he couldn't-- he beat the odds against him and beat Hillary Clinton who was almost certain to win the Presidency. In no way was Trump supposed to win but by some unknown force he is now going to be the forty-fifth President of the United States. As we all know by now many are mad, upset, and most are scared to death. Trump is what we would call a 'wildcard' meaning that he is sometimes unpredictable-- which can be challenging when we are now forced to trust in him. However, we (the American people) should give Trump a chance, I think Trump could either change the Nation positively or will be a lameduck-- meaning he won't do much as President. I think Trump is under not only more scrutiny with a Republican controlled House, Senate, and SCOTUS, but is very very restricted in what he will be able to do as President. Lets remember a majority of these Republicans are 'Establishment' Republicans and/or 'Never Trump' Republicans. Trump has changed drastically from the loud mouth loose cannon and has turned into a quite respectful and presidential leader! Just look at his Victory speech instead of screaming and yelling he was quiet and reserved and being very respectful. Lets keep in mind Trump has not been sworn in and as of right now Israel and Russia are opening themselves up to fixing a broken relationship Obama certainly didn't help with. Historically, the stock market falls after an election which of course happened with this election however-- this time it was different, the stock market jumped up and in fact higher than it has ever been! If this isn't a sign of the great things that could happen I don't know what is!

Of course we have to realize that we can't put all of our eggs into one basket and completely expect Trump or anybody to fix our problems. He certainly won't be able to erase the debt and I'd quite honestly be surprised if he could lower the debt significantly. In the end though, we have a system of 'checks and balances' that keeps the President from doing whatever he or she wants to do. Trump doesn't have it easy in fact for at least four years he will be fighting the toughest fight on Earth--politics. If you are genuinely scared of Trump's presidency I'm talking to you specifically, don't be, I promise Trump won't be able to do whatever he wants, he will have to go through an Estasblishment Republican House and Senate as well as SCOTUS. Most importantly, lets remember Trump won the election fair and square and we owe it to Trump to give him a chance to 'Make America Great Again'!

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.
