This one is for all the ladies out there … four women are running for President of the United States in 2020. FOUR WOMEN. FOUR DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL WOMEN.

Beyonce was right. Girls run the world and they're running this presidential race AND HOPEFULLY The United States of America!

This is insane! We could go from the annoying orange in the White House to a solid woman running the show and accomplishing things this nation needs.

These four women are running for The Democratic Party and so far the top candidate is Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris is the Attorney General of California. Harris is "For The People" as her campaign states. She is not taking donations from any corporations.

"Kamala Harris has spent her entire life defending our American values. From fighting to fix our broken criminal justice system to take on the Wall Street Banks for middle-class homeowners, Kamala has always worked For The People."

"As U.S. Senator, Kamala introduced or co-sponsored legislation to provide sweeping tax cuts for the middle class, address the high cost of rent, raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, make higher education tuition-free for the vast majority of Americans, reform the cash bail system, protect the legal rights of refugees and immigrants, and expand access to affordable, quality health care with Medicare for All."

She has received the most media attention since announcing her candidacy, getting as much and possibly more than Elizabeth Warren. Refer back to my previous article about Elizabeth Warren who was the first female candidate announced for 2020.

Alongside Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Tulsi Gabbard are running for president.

Tulsi Gabbard is a congresswoman in Hawaii. She advocates for environmental policy and is the youngest person ever elected in the state of Hawaii. She also served two tours in the Middle East! She is serving her fourth term in Congress and continues to advocate for veterans, work on a sustainable economy, affordable health care, and give quality education. This is an excellent candidate for President.

Kirsten Gillibrand is United States Senator for New York. She prioritizes rebuilding the economy. She wants manufacturing in the United States which will give more jobs to the American people and fix the economy. She led the effort for the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" which was a policy banning gays from serving openly in the military and she wrote the Stock Act which made it illegal for members of Congress to benefit financially from inside information. She also fought for the compensation of 9/11 first responders with their health care and survivors who were sick with diseases from toxins at Ground Zero.

These women are all running for being the next leader of this crumbling nation and I'm so here for it. Can you believe that SO FAR four women are running? What if more step forward? As a woman, this is huge and so inspiring. I hope to see this nation led by someone extraordinary and if it just so happens to be one of these fine women, I would not be mad about that at all.

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.
