An Open, Aggressive Letter To Pro-Lifers

For those pro-lifers out there working really hard to protect unborn children, I really hope you don't scoff at all those children after they grow up. You know, the ones that were never adopted or financially supported and end up having to go through the nightmare that is the foster care system. The ones that will probably end up having to use stamp cards in line at HEB. Those people that you really felt needed to be born, you now judge and claim they're ripping off your taxes. Let's close abortion clinics, yes, "make people live with their consequences." But isn't a baby supposed to be a miracle and not a consequence? And if so, then you're recognizing the unfortunate situation that it would be to have to put a child through foster care or attempt to take care of a child that you can't take care of. By making people live with their consequences, you forget that the unborn baby is both the "consequence" and a "person" that is going to also live with those consequences.

Please don't bring that, "they should have a right to fight for their life" bull-crap here.You should be more willing to fight for their lives, knowing they're defenseless children entering a world with no mother or father that can provide for them, like was naturally provided to you. Fighting for their lives before they're born and not while they're fully conscious beings is a joke. By just being born to parents that wanted you and could provide for you, you're already 10 steps ahead of a person that wasn't.

However, by all means, keep crying about the immorality of abortion clinics and sex and people entitled to your tax dollars. Please, continue being entitled enough to your opinion, to force others to live the way you want, even though that probably will not be possible for them because they aren't as privileged as you. Please continue not wanting anything to do with the people that need help and call those people "lazy" and "entitled," even though they will have to fight just to make up for the financial support system that you were born with.

"People have fought and gone from homeless to famous." Well, yes, good for those people, but do we really live in a system where everyone is allowed to succeed? I mean, seriously? Who is going to flip burgers and work for big businesses if everybody has a degree? Just the teenagers, right? That's beside the fact that most of those jobs are filled by middle age adults. However, I guess they're all just lazy, right? If you're capable of putting time and energy into closing abortion clinics, defunding planned parenthood, and so on, then I would think there should be an equal push to love those who are already born and need you.

If you can't do that, then you're not pro-life. You're pro-"others taking responsibility for their actions." Which is ironic, considering you fail to realize the negative impact you're having on other's lives by making contraception and abortion harder to obtain.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
