I'm Fed Up

Have you ever considered this ideology.

I'm Fed Up
Adriana Boyd-Lewis

Think of it like this: Bobby is sitting at the table and he has no food and everyone else has food so he says "I want to eat." Everyone looks at him and says, "We all want to eat," then proceed to resume eating. It doesn't eliminate the fact that BOBBY STILL HAS NO FOOD!!! #BlackLivesMatter and stop saying #AllLivesMatter. At the point where everyone is collectively killed at the same rate as black men and women in America, then you can say all lives matter. Right now, at this very moment, BLACK LIVES MATTER!

I don't give a damn if you block me, delete me or unfriend me in public or private because I will speak my mind regardless. I am sick and tired of the bullshit! Yes, black-on-black crime still exists just as white-on-white and Latino-on-Latino. When a cop kills them, it seems we forget that they kill their own just as everyone does. It's only when blacks are lynched in the media (LIVE STREAM COVERAGE) that we also want to reflect on the fact that blacks kill blacks.

Fact: In 2016 alone, 491 blacks have been killed by cops in just the first 6 months .

Fact: Donald Trump has declared a race war

Fact: A black man dies by the hands of a cop every 28 hours

Fact: Donald Trump feels we have nothing to lose, so why not?

Fact: The more we wake up the more we are set up for the slaughter.

Fact: White privilege is the reason a kid who murders eight people can walk away and a man who sells CDs is now a trending hashtag.

I don't want to hear that all lives matter right now. I would like to hear that I am worth something because while your belly is full, I was never given a plate.

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.
