The LSU community experienced the same shock felt by Americans across the country, when the polls leading up to yesterday turned out to be incorrect. 

Students at LSU shared their feelings about what happened and what they expect to see in the future. 

“I honestly did think that Hillary would win, just because of the way that the polls were looking,” biology sophomore Tabitha Kearns said.

“I’m a Hispanic-American. I’m, I’m terrified. I have no idea what’s gonna happen to me, what’s gonna happen to my family,” international studies junior Charlotte Tnorio said. 

Despite the large voter turnout, some students still felt as though there were uninformed people who did not vote or voted without the proper knowledge. 

“I feel as if a lot of people weren’t aware of what was going on like they weren’t expressing their right to vote.” criminal justice senior Kieron Morris said. 

“I heard of people voting as a joke, and that just…I was like, how can you not understand how much you’re affecting everyone else,” Tnorio said. 

Students were also asked about what they expect to come from the next four years of a Trump presidency. 

“I think they’re gonna be…they’re gonna be pretty good. I’m really excited,” communication studies junior Treasure Washington said. 

“I mean, I don’t really see anything good from it,” Morris said. 

“I think that Trump’s experience with you know business and everything will help as far as economic plan, and I think his cabinet is gonna be fantastic,” Kearns said. 

Regardless of the results, the majority people across the country are just ready to move on from the election.

“I’m glad it’s over, so that they can talk about something else on the news now,” Kearns said.

“I hope people realize what was at stake, and they trust in the process and pray for Donald Trump, even if they don’t agree with necessary with what he stands for,” sports administration sophomore Stephen Miller said.

After such a divisive election, Americans hope they can bring the country back together.
