Kawhi Leonard, Thank You For Your Laugh

His laugh, not the laugh it gave me. Although that was nice, too.

Kawhi Leonard, Thank You For Your Laugh

We take things too seriously. Life tells us we have to care about academics, politics, economics etc... We have to live or die by our political affiliations or our favorite sports teams. We cry and scream like children of the middle of the street when Trump is elected and get offended when people laugh, like caring that much about something isn't absolutely hilarious.

"Me Too" has hit full stride with the indictments of Brett Kavanaugh and Urban Meyer, igniting fires in the most passionately bipartisan areas of life; sports and politics. We are taking sides more than ever and, despite what people might say, we love it. As a conservative, I love when Trump says to "grab her by the pussy" because I know it will piss off a lot of people, and now I have a fight on my hands, I have a purpose.

As a liberal, I also love when Trump says to "grab her by the pussy" because, although I am truly, deeply disturbed, I now get to show people how moral and right I am by telling people how amoral and wrong Kavanaugh is.

But as a human being, I choose to die laughing at Kawhii Leonard laughing like an insecure robot at a press conference. That's it. That's all there is to it. I could tell you I love it because it really helps us relate to larger than life personalities, that even they have flaws. If Kawhii Leonard feels awkward speaking in front of people and screws up his own laugh, then what do I have to worry about? Thanks, Kawhii!

I could say that's the reason why, but it's not. Truth is, when I'm with my friends and we're having a stupid, fun time and someone pulls up a video of Basketball superstar Kawhii Leonard laughing like he hasn't heard his own voice in weeks, I cry laughing because the stupidity of it is the beauty of it. It's absurd, and that's all that matters. It takes us away, even if only for a moment, from things we think matter. Kawhii's laugh is our common enemy.

But instead of an enemy, it's literally a blip of an unexplainably absurd thing we can all laugh it. That's it. It's thoroughly unexplainable. There's no debate about whether the dress is blue or black, no debate about it not being one's kind of humor, no not understanding it. He laughs, then I laugh, then we all laugh. Thanks, Kawhi.

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.

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.
