Women's March on The United States

Someone get this pumpkin skin, hay-headed dullard out of office before he hurts himself

Women's March on The United States
Andrew Caballero-Reynolds

The Women’s March on Washington has given everyone a sense of power and unification. It did not matter if you were male or female, this march set an important precedent for what is to come in the next four years.

The march produced several important messages that were directed towards President Trump, one of those being that we will not give up the fight. Although you are now in office and became arguably one of the most powerful people in the world, we will not rest and we will not stop fighting.

It was a beautiful message that could be seen on every person’s face who went to march. You could see it on each face of every celebrity that went up to speak and you could feel it during Trump’s inauguration.

The contrast between how embarrassingly empty Trump’s inauguration was; compared to how full and over-capacitated the march became just shows the amount of people that our President has pissed off.

We now have a President, a leader of a nation that holds 318.9 million people; that has openly verbally sexually harassed countless women, and that has outright disrespected women all across the globe, including his own daughter.

As I watched this march on television, I saw multiple people crying and holding each other, as they were supported by others around them. It was then that I realized that the significance of this march shows how nothing will put these people down.

It does not matter what he says, what he does, or what he plans, his campaign has set forward a lot of movements and one of them is the solidarity of this nation as a whole.

I believe that under Trump, to quote Charles Dickens, we will see “the worst of times and the best of times.” By that I mean, we will see the damage he will go on to do; but we will also see the people rebuild something much more grandiose and superior than we could have ever expected or imagined.

I believe that we will come together and show our support for each other and for everyone like protesters did. The magnitude of support showed in several cities all across the country, and even the globe like Paris and London.

I believe and hope that President Trump will not last in office, and that one day he realizes his own stupidity, idiocy, and bigotry before it is too late. I also hope that he finally ignites a fire that he himself will not be able to put out.

I ultimately believe that history repeats itself. If we are pushed hard enough and long enough, we are going to have the revolution that this country obviously needs and hopefully it can finally put all this injustice to rest.

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.
