Are we living in a simulation?

Ever since 2019, things have been "different"

Are we living in a simulation?

It obviously has become very trying times since the start of this pandemic. Many people have lost their jobs and their will to keep going in life. There’s been numerous cases of COVID-19 widespread, with people falling ill and dying, falling into a deep dark void away from their family and friends.

COVID-19 is nothing new at the moment. It is still the same virus that caused a pandemic a couple years ago, almost making us think that we are in fact living in a simulation. A simulation that was designed to have us suffer and contemplate life.

☆ A simulation can mean that we are all stuck in a void time and place, where we are possibly being “watched”.

☆ It can also be telling of the fact that we are in trying times and need to practice more compassion within ourselves and each other.

☆ Just because we “feel” as if we are in a simulation, doesn’t necessarily always mean that we are in one.

Simulations are scary. That’s a fact. We don’t know who is controlling us and the events that are happening in a simulation and we also don’t know what we are being controlled to do. It’s almost as if the people who are watching us, are “enjoying” us while in our pain and misery as we try to get through our lives, as if nothing is holding us back. Scientists have started hypothesizing that we may actually be living in a simulation since 2019, and that we were being “watched” since then. They have provided mathematical and scientific evidence and reasoning as to why this may be the case.

As the years go by, we are getting more and more closer to the “end” of the world. The fact that there are different scary possibilities coming into existence may prove that, the world isn’t as “early” in destructive possibilities and “what-ifs” as we may think.

If we look at the fact that we are struggling within a pandemic, this wasn’t something that existed a while ago, before 2019. Ever since 2019 and 2020 came, things started to change and feel more like a simulation. It almost started feeling as if there is someone constantly trying to test us and see what our limits are.

If we think hard about it, we didn’t really have the same circumstances at the moment in the years previously. Climate change wasn’t as big of a problem back then as it is currently. Although the Earth’s climate is bound to change and constantly alter itself, climate change and the glaciers haven't really been something on our radar until the last couple of years. We keep wondering if this is all a sign that we are getting near to the “end” or doomsday.

We can do whatever it is that we are doing now, but we have to be conscious of the fact that there are different “wake-up” calls being brought to us by the world. Climate change, the pandemic, are a few things that can remind us that we need to start being more mindful about our environment and how this world is going to change.

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.
