It’s February and that means Black History Month, and what better way to kick off one of the best months, by talking about some girls with that Black Girl Magic that run their world. I couldn't fit all of the magical black girls on here, but there is no order of who is the best or the worst, they are all females out to change our world and won't take no for an answer. Get ready to be slayed.

1. Beyoncé

What is a list of people who run the world without her? Last year she dropped one of the best albums with songs that made all black girls want to get in formation and let their men know that if he cheated on her, then he better just goes better go back to her.

2. Viola Davis

First African American Woman to be nominated for an Oscar three times, she became the first African American Woman to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama, she was the first actor to get a star on the walk of fame in the year 2017, she’s also known to just slay in everything she wear on or off the red carpet. She’s always speaking out for other women of color, one of my favorite quotes by her is “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity.” Such a magical girl.

3. Zendaya

There are some people that when you see them doing anything, it just slays you. Zendaya is that person for me, I am not afraid to call her my role model because she’s a strong female who isn’t afraid to reach out to help others or to tell future world changers what they should know before they go out into the world.

4. Lunella Lafayette

I didn’t say all these ladies are from our “world” Lunella Lafayette is one of the smartest people in the marvel comic, she’s nine years old and in those nine years, besides being an elementary student, she’s also an inventor, engineer, and a superhero with a dinosaur (no Biggy).

5. Harriet Tubman

There shouldn’t be a single person in American who doesn’t know about this powerful and important woman. While she may not be the first resistance fighters, however, she’s sort of the Princess/General Leia of the resistance. In fact, a show called the underground, just show the first look at her for season 2! I haven’t watched the show yet (I have twenty other shows waiting to be watched), but hopefully, it doesn’t change her to fit what people want her to be.

6. Rosa Parks

If anyone ever tells you, no one will change the world by sitting, they may have never heard of Rose Parks. While she shouldn't just be known for sitting, she’s one of many important activists that have lived in our world and her impacted is still strong and should never be forgotten for what she has done for this world.

7. Marley Dias

This girl is going places! What did she do you may ask? She wanted to collect books starring Black females as the lead characters (Something I wish I could have when I was younger) Here's a link to an article about her. Also as of this year, she's lined up for a book deal! This little girl is magical and everyone should look up to her!!

While there are so many more, I want to leave you with this one request. For the rest of Black History Month, for everyday, learn about a different black woman or man. You may never know what theses magical people have been up to but they never get the credit or even could be remembered by people for who know's why. You can spend the rest of this month knowing a whole lot more

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.
