Why I Can't Be Afraid To Share My Support For Trump

I am done feeling ashamed of my political beliefs.

Why I Can't Be Afraid To Share My Support For Trump
Forbes

I've always been a Republican, I come from a Republican household and my political opinions have always veered more towards the right.

And since I am a Republican, I will be voting for Donald Trump on November 8th.

And yes, I am a woman (shocking, right?!). There is a lot of negative feedback that occurs whenever a woman openly admits that she is voting for Trump, mainly because of his "locker room talk" scandal and recent sexual assault allegations. In no way shape or form to I condone what he said, however, this happened back in 2005, which was 11 years ago and I believe that he is a changed man now. I believe that Trump is the best candidate because he truly is dedicated to improving America. Unlike Hillary Clinton, who seems to be more for herself than the American people.

Now don't get me wrong, I am all for putting a woman in the White House, I just do not believe that Hillary Clinton should be that woman. However, I won't try and argue with anyone who does not agree with me and I certainly would never call them "ignorant" or "undereducated" just because we have different political views. I respect other people's opinions and believe that everyone should be able to express their beliefs without the fear of getting attacked by those who don't agree with them. I wish that this weren't the case for this election but it sadly is. I wish that I could openly express my opinions on this election without the fear of people calling me nasty things, and the fact that this is becoming a general occurrence is truly disturbing because it goes against everything people stand for. I should be able to express my opinion and I should not feel ashamed for voting in favor of the candidate I believe in, which in this case is Donald Trump. I had a lot of reservations about writing this article due to the negativism that I would most likely receive from those who do not agree with my viewpoint, however, this is not about others agreeing with me, it is about making the right decision based on my beliefs.

But I'm done being concerned about what others think and I'm done keeping my opinions to myself, I don't care if people don't agree with me or think I'm wrong for siding with Donald Trump. I am a woman, I am informed, I am voting for Donald Trump, and I am NOT ashamed of that. Remember you can't complain if you don't participate in the process.

No matter your opinion, your voice deserves to be heard, so please get out and vote on November 8th.

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?
