Dear Kemp Administration.. Have A Heart

About fifteen U.S. states have now either passed or are in the process of passing new abortion law(s) that prohibit women from being legally able to have an abortion after a doctor has detected a heartbeat in their womb. This past Tuesday, Georgia's newly elected Governor Republican Brain Kemp signed House Bill 481, the "Heartbeat Bill" which also prevents abortion after a heartbeat is detected. Some even are calling this bill one of the most restrictive abortion bills in America.

I do agree that every living being should have a fair shot at life. This bill honestly has sparked conversation not only in my own home but also around the nation. Thinking twice about who we lay down with might have to become a norm because it's looking like you may not have a choice later on...

Prior to this bill, Women in Georgia could legally get an abortion all the way up until their 20th week of pregnancy. Starting on January 1st, this new bill will begin to hinder women from being able to make their own decision as to whether they want to bring their child into the world or not.

Under the right circumstances, Women should always be allowed to do as they please with their own bodies, especially regarding their own children. Not just legally, but also psychologically forcing Women to keep a child that they do not feel is ready for the world (for whatever personal reason) should be unconstitutional! We should have enough faith in our Women to decide if the world that they are bringing their child into is the world they want their child to exist in. From financial issues to parental issues, to even personal issues like mental health, all these play a major factor in this child's life before it even leaves the womb. Railroading not only children but also Mothers and Fathers into realities that they know are not ideal may not be illegal technically, but it sure is inhumane.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
