Saying 'Yes' To Sex IS NOT The Same As Saying 'Yes' To Your Sperm

It's just not cute when you don't listen.

Consent is consent, no means no, all things that we learned growing up but people seem to forget, conveniently, while they're "in the moment."

The biggest of all those being, "I don't want you to orgasm in me" and then the male does so anyways—this is sexual assault.

You don't get to decide for a female that she has you inside of her and can potentially get her pregnant. We all know the "pull out" method isn't foolproof, but at least you're respecting her wishes when you do so.

Saying you forgot, emitting "oops" and moving on with your day, isn't acceptable at all. You need to realize that what you're doing is wrong. This goes for anything that involves another person's body. If she says not to touch her butt, and you do, you are violating her trust, and you're assaulting her sexually. This isn't cute behavior, and we need to stop letting it slide, there's a reason someone doesn't want to be touched.

For a lot of people, not wanting to be touched comes from some abuse they received in the past, and she shouldn't have to tell you a story about it for you to understand that it's not your place to decide.

Please remember that "NO" isn't just limited to sex itself but the type of sex a person receives.

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.

"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.
