I'm bracing myself with all of the news coverage and my fellow creator's article- quick enough for a response. One professor was wondering where I've been when the past Friday's forum took place; he commented about students ranting with a protest. An old classmate- current graduate student of the same campus- has been reaching out to me, too.

According to Cory Zurowski of City Pages, "those already enrolled will be allowed to finish their degrees, but the school won't allow new students to take up the suspended curricula."

The University Chancellor defended the decision would have 3% of all enrolled students affected in the suspended majors, and it could face budget deficient costing 2.6 million dollars. Those facts "doesn't catch on down South" as John A. Tures puts it to shame on Wisconsin government raising money for a new NBA arena of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Noting a few facts helps me to be straight-forward before I go to campus for an upcoming sit-in and rally.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
