We've Got a Clown Problem

What has America come to that we can honestly say we have a growing clown problem?

Most people know America for being great right? Other countries have problems such as earthquakes, war, poverty, diseases, and starvation. But what does America have? America has a CLOWN problem. That's right...I said CLOWN, as in those creepy Halloween costumes with the painted faces, tomato looking noses, and rainbow wigs. Is this what the great America has come to?

America has always been a role model country for other countries and our allies in the world. We have always been ahead in weaponry, viewed as strong, and have always been put together as a country. America has had a great history. Up to now... What has America come to that we now have crazy people dressing up as clowns and trying to kill people? Since when is this a normal thing to do? What were people in America thinking when they decided to dress up as mystical creatures with the intentions of horrifying people and killing them? This uproar of murderous clowns has people terrified for their lives. People are now terrified of their lives. The people of America are refusing to go leave the safety their homes without company, having increased anxiety, and they are paranoid. Not only are the normal people terrified, but the other psychos of the world are playing copy cat. Other psychos are copying each other and are dressing up as clowns trying to terrify more people. Who knew America could become such a sick place?

If only someone had an explanation as to why this is happening or how this started, a lot of problems could be solved. It is as if one day everything was normal and the next, the population of psychos went crazy and turned into murderous clowns, while the rest of the population became fearful of their lives. What could have possibly led America to this point?

Some might blame the increase of technology and increased boredom in the younger generations. With the increase in technology and social media, people have an easier time getting attention from the rest of the internet population. With the simple click of a button, thousands of people can view a video in less than 10 minutes. This creates the incentive of people to gain attention by doing negative things such as becoming murderous clowns. Along with the increase of technology, there is an increase of boredom in the younger generations. Technology, social media, and video games have become so prevalent in today's society that people are becoming bored with their lives. This boredom could be the cause of this clown epidemic. Who thought that would be a term used? CLOWN EPIDEMIC.... Let that sink in.

If the world has come to fearing our lives from a bunch of creepy clowns, what could the future of America be in for?

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.

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.
