Did Cheerios just air a pro-life commercial?

Cheerios, the cereal that used to promote health and wellness using a cute little bumble bee is now sharing its views on abortion. In their latest commercial, the 30 second advertisement shows about 27 seconds of footage of babies doing "cute" things and couples kissing. In the midst of it all is a flash of words saying "more babies please..."

Now, first of all, I am NOT looking too far into this. The commercial was not even over yet and I had already come up with that conclusion. Once the commercial ended and I stood their baffled for a good five minutes, I quickly raced to youtube and found that same commercial and watched it over and over and over again. "MORE BABIES PLEASE???" How about a bit less of a political request Cheerios? I was watching this commercial and I am pretty sure I heard my uterus let out a sigh. We beg one another to keep the political conversations away from the dinner table but I guess it's totally fine to have political propaganda directly in my breakfast. If you had an abortion and had to watch this, I am sorry. If you can not physically conceive a child, I am sorry. If you watched this and your pro-life self was jumping for joy and went out and bought every box of cereal the store had...I am so sorry.

Feel free to watch this and hear your uterus talk. And if you do not have a uterus then I promise you, you'll hear your neighbors uterus. Let's keep the baby talk for the human beings under the age of 3, shall we?

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.
