Dear Modern Feminism

You suck.

The word is history, not her-story. There are two genders, and women don't have it as bad as they think they do. I'm an 18 year old woman, and usually people automatically assume that I am a huge feminist and believe that women deserve more rights than men. I'm a traditional girl, I don't think men are being condescending when they want to hold doors open or cover the check. I think it's gentlemanly and a dating habit that needs to be more popular.

Modern feminists slam girls for having flat stomachs, saying that they aren't real women or that they photoshop their bodies, but claim to be body positive. They think that men should breastfeed (something that isn't really possible so give that one up, ladies). I saw a photo on Twitter that stated "Cats are independent and feminine, which is why you must never trust a man who doesn't like them," because allergies and personal preferences are obviously not a thing.

I'm usually not one to bash someone's beliefs, but modern feminazism isn't fair to anyone. They think that one gender is superior to the other, which is exactly what feminism isn't. Feminism is wanting equal rights; something that everyone wants. It's not calling men supremacists because they believe that men are naturally more muscular and strong (which, news flash, they are) or if you believe that fathers don't have the right to want something for their children.

I truly believe that women need to support women, we go through a lot more shit than men. But that doesn't mean that men are not essential to this society and the world in general. But when women are the ones slamming other women, they don't get to call themselves body positive or that they love all women.

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.
