If you don’t know about the issues, it’s time to learn.
As college students, we’re in a state of limbo until we graduate into the real world and are expected to know what we’re talking about. We should all be proud to have our own beliefs, stand up for causes we’re passionate about, and even stray away from the views of our parents. The 2016 Presidential election is around the corner, and it’s time we all take the issues seriously so we can start contributing like the adults we are (or are planning on being).
