I think understanding the importance of organ donation is something that can change this world. I understand people's religious beliefs and other beliefs they may have but understanding how you can forever change someone's life is amazing. For the people who do not have any religious beliefs or other beliefs making it impossible to donate, become a donor today!

The benefits of donating your organs are unreal. Not only can you help medicine advance and cure even more diseases but you can potentially save someone's life, giving them a second chance at a healthy life again. Organ donation is becoming more and more popular. Over 90% of adults in America are donating their organs. One organ donor can save up to eight different lives. It only takes five minutes out of your day to register.

The view I have is after we are deceased we are going to rot in the ground anyways so why not use our organs for the common good. Why not be selfless and give the opportunity of life to someone who has been fighting for so long. There is no age limit on organ donation so if you are unsure you can wait and make the decision at a later date and time but I highly encourage you to become the missing piece to someone's puzzle. The number of children and adults that sit on the transplant list each year is insanely high. The more donors that the United States has, the better the chance the people on the donor list will be able to receive a matched organ.

I do understand the religious beliefs that have a conflict with this type of issue. I believe in God and have faith that this is an act of charity and love. You are selfless in a way that not everyone can because they are looking for the missing pieces to their puzzle. You have the opportunity to give someone else a shot at a life that they would never have had without your selflessness.


Go sign up to be an organ donor today, and you won't regret it!

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.
