'Brexit' Creates Worldwide Trend; Panic Ensues

The new craze that's sweeping the globe!

'Brexit' Creates Worldwide Trend; Panic Ensues
The Millennium Report

In a new trend that's sweeping the world, countries are "Brexiting" at an alarming rate. This week alone, "Byegium," "Czech-out," "Latervia" and "Italeave" have declared their independence from the European Nation.

Sundar Pichai, God of Google, said that within 0.975 seconds after leaving voting centers, millions of citizens from these countries whipped out their phones and frantically googled, "what is the EU?" He mentioned that it seems to be a tradition, as per Brexit - vote first, research later.

So what does this all mean for the economy?

Nothing good, says the International Monetary Fund, a group of smart people who know a lot more about things than I do. They predict much uncertainty in the future of Britain's economy, and the continuation of the value decrease of the pound. Which is unfortunate, because the pound is very pretty and colorful and deserves to be valued.

The fate of the other countries who are Brexiting is yet to be determined.

David Cameron, former Prime Minister of the UK, has decided to hastily abandon ship from the now-tanking country. He's decided to move to his vacation home on Easter Island. Cameron was photographed this past Wednesday peeling away to the airport in a sweet-looking t-bird, yelling, "Bye, losers!" from the car window.

When asked what they're going to do with their now-failing economy, British citizens tended to cough nervously, tug on their shirt collars and offer me some tea and biscuits, but neglected to offer a straight answer.

The former King of Canada and Minister of Moose, Stephen Harper, couldn't help but scoff when he found out about the Brexit campaign. He thought it was funny how a country historically focused on consuming every other country is now, in fact, leaving a conglomeration of countries.

Right on, Stephen.

This wave of Brexiting very closely precedes the 4th of July. On which date, four score and 240 years ago, the United States of America declared their independence from Britain.

Hm.

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.
