Get Your Gun And Run
Lexis Twentier

Growing up, females are constantly reminded to defend themselves. When they are old enough, a brother, father, uncle, or grandpa takes us out to shoot guns. When we turn 21, we're told to get a permit to carry. But why just females? We is it that females are the only ones told to learn how to defend themselves? Why is it that guys are never told "learn how to defend yourself" or "go buy a gun and get a permit to carry when you are 21?" Why?

There are males out there that will just as easily attack another male instead of a female. Protect yourself, guys. What happens when you're walking alone at night and 2 or 3 strong, muscular, mean guys stop you? You can try to fight them, but it may not end well if it's a 3-1 situation. Protect yourself. It doesn't make you any less of a man if you're a concealed carrier. Actually, I can assure you that us females will feel safer knowing you have a gun if we go out or are just walking or driving down the world.

Males aren't the only people that attack in groups. Reality check, females travel in groups, too. Females are mean and violent, too. Females are attackers and perpetrators, too. Protect yourselves, guys. If you're a permitted carrier and 3 or 4 women come up behind you when you're alone and begin to attack you, what are you going to do? Sure, once again, you can fight them, but it will be hard in a 4-1 scenario. Protect yourself, carry a gun. Sure, maybe it's unethical to shoot a woman, but it's not illegal if it's in self-defense. I'm not saying you need to try to kill every male or female in your sight, I'm just saying it's better safe than sorry. Females are attackers, too, remember that.

If you're 21, protect yourself. Make yourself a concealed carrier. Practice shooting. Learn how to use a small gun that you can easily hide. Be smart. Be aware. Get your gun and run.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
