Unless you've been living under a rock, for the past few months everybody has been wondering if Kylie Jenner is pregnant or not. Quite honestly, don't think I go a day without seeing something about it on social media. I love watching the Kardashians just as much as everyone else, but sometimes things involving them get so blown out of proportion for no good reason. Because everybody is so focused on entertainment news, it's easy to forget what's actually happening in our world. Here are 5 current issues that are far more important than Kylie Jenner's "pregnancy":

1. Net Neutrality

Sooo the FCC is pretty much trying to take away our freedom of using the Internet. This could drastically change social media usage for us, and even simply using Google. Doesn't that scare any other millennials or college students?

2. Puerto Rico

It's been months since Hurricane Maria wiped out the Islands and Puerto Rico, yet they're still recovering. It's so bad over there that many areas will still be without power until May and hospitals are now even facing a shortage of IV bags.

3. Global Warming

The number of natural disasters that had taken place in 2017 was insane. And the fact that people still don't think climate change is happening? Even more insane.

4. Gun Control

An ongoing problem for years, gun control needs to be put into effect more than ever now. Every time you hear the news about a massacre, it's worse each time. How much more grieving is it going to take?

5. Women's Healthcare

Trump is trying to get rid of planned parenthood.Excuse me what?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
