Shame on you.

A Letter To The Cowardly Women Who Falsely Report Sexual Assaults, We Don't Support You

To those girls that I shouldn't even call women because they don't act like one, here's a piece of my mind.

In what right mind do you think that it is acceptable to ruin a woman's/man's life by falsely accusing them of sexual assault? You are not only hurting the men/women, but you are hurting the victim population while you do it. I hope that sticks in your brain.

Shame on you. Shame on you for completely setting back the progress we've made with the #MeToo movement and embarrassing those individuals who have been so brave to come forward and tell their valid sexual assault stories.

Do you realize the weight that this puts on the accused? To have to go to court and face a great number of people for something that they did not do? But of course, you're probably one of the first to say that "men/women are trash." No, actually you are.

The lives you would be hurting in the process, the opportunities that will go to waste, and don't even get me started on the reputation!

To actually lie and say you are a "victim" of sexual assault is sickening. Being a victim isn't cool, it is not glamorous. It's an internal fight that we battle with each and every day, one that also comes and goes. You don't want to be a sexual assault victim.

By all means, you are a coward. You didn't know how to approach a situation so the first thing you do is to create this big, disastrous lie?

Congratulations, you are wasting your sweet time crafting this nonsense while hurting so many people in the process. Do you realize how damaging this is to relationships and friendships? I am sure you don't.

Next time you think about making up such a ridiculous lie, I hope that you know that what you're doing is almost unforgivable.

Sincerely,

The strong women who respect what it means to be female.

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.
