There Are Clowns Everywhere, And We're All Scared

Why are people trying to take the fun out of Halloween?

There Are Clowns Everywhere, And We're All Scared

I'm going to be honest with you, I have a fear of clowns. Now with all the new clown sightings going on, my anxiety has gone through the roof!

Recently, there has been a new trend of clowns popping up over the country. Sometimes they are "harmless" and are there just to mentally frighten people. But on the other hand you have knife-yielding maniacs chasing after you while you're simple going on an early morning hike! Incase you want to see the video, you can fearfully watch it right here. WARNING! There are some swear words in the video.

Personally if I were to encounter a clown in this day and age, I would run as fast as I could away from these things and get as far away as possible!

After watching some of these videos and reading some articles, there is no doubt to why people should be in fear. As seen in the above video, this clown had a KNIFE! A KNIFE for goodness sake! Why on earth would you want to chase someone with a knife! When did this concept become ok with you?!

Also where are all of these clowns coming from?

I have seen clown videos where they are in the woods, in cities, and even standing on a billboard! Why on earth would you even want to get on one? That is just asking for disaster to happen! If you would like to see the video and read another article, you can click on the link here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/05/scary-c.... Again, in some of the videos there are strong words expressed.

With all of these incidents occurring, it has me wondering; what will Halloween be like this year?

As many people are suspecting to happen, more clowns will be loose and haunting the streets as our poor innocent children go out to just get some good candy. Now why would you steal the pure innocence and fun out of that for these kids? All they want is some good candy! Yet we all know that there will be multiple clown sightings on Halloween. Hopefully none will be spotted near me because I would like to enjoy my Halloween without being terrified.

If you do run into one, please be safe. While this is a national "trend" going on that is supposed to be supposedly harmless, some of these sightings are serious. Some are carrying machetes and knives. There have even been reports of clowns following people from their jobs or school all the way to their home. So please, be safe. Hopefully this will calm down soon and will just be a grim memory to think about. Like when people thought it was ok to do the Kylie Jenner lip challenge. (Insert eye roll here.)

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.
