An Open Letter To Julian Assange
TIME

Dear Julian Assange,

In the midst of the current American political crisis, I consider you Heaven-sent. Although most citizens of the United States probably do not even know your name, those of us that do, applaud you immensely. And as we are all aware, as America stands on a dangerous political threshold and approaches the decision making month of November, the corporate media increases its efforts to suppress truth and proof of corruption more and more every day.

But you are someone people like myself marvel at. You are part of a dying breed of journalism. You're Australian yet have propelled Wikileaks toward being more of a contribution to our 2016 Presidential Election than any journalist or media source in the United States of America has. From Hillary Clinton's emails to her conspiracy with Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC to silence Bernie Sanders and his campaign to her ties with former ISIS business client, Lafarge, to her companionship, loyalty and puppet strings to world elites like David Rockefeller, Jacob Rothschild and George Soros -- you have released information and documents that expose everything we as voters should be aware of and angry about. And you have even found yourself at war with the establishment, being that you are under investigation from the Department of Justice and have come under fire from many ignorant people, such as Bill Maher, who have a blatantly obvious disregard and tolerance for political corruption in American society.

In an election that has the recurring theme of "choosing the lesser of two evils" you would think the information you've presented our country in regards to the suspected "lesser evil" of the two candidates would be appreciated beyond words by every person who plans on going to the polls in November -- but it is not. If it is not unheard of by most voters, it is typically not appreciated or even condemned. This speaks volumes of the American society and its current politically-brain washed collective mental state. Our citizens are not utterly disgusted with the corporate media, who conspires with the establishment to withhold information from them in order to control them, but they are indoctrinated by it. They are indeed blind followers of and practically worship them. They listen to every word spoken, read every headline written and absorb them without a single critical thought or questioning of it. They consciously allow the corporate media to be their only source of information. We are truly on the verge of something catastrophic in terms of our society's flow of information and education. Our media has turned our citizens into sheep that lack the ability or drive to educate themselves, think critically or demand the ugly truth over the pretty lie. Instead they accept "truth" that spares them the gory details of the careers, decisions and characters of corrupt politicians that represent them and run their country. They submissively agree to tolerate corruption and vote for the "lesser of two evils."

That being said, I want to thank you for everything you have done for us this election, including those who are ignorant or misinformed. Thank you for exposing corruption. Thank you for providing the American voter with transparency for the sake of his democracy. Thank you for proving that real journalists who seek to inform and educate still exist. Thank you for having more integrity in the tip of your pinky finger than the American journalists and media have collectively. I consider you more of a patriot than many of the lifeless puppets in my own country and you have undoubtedly gained my utmost respect.

Sincerely, A Vigilant Citizen

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.
