With the election of the new President comes a lot of extra talk about specific topics that may not typically be discussed. One of the big topics of discussion throughout the media is the topic of abortion. This is a sensitive subject for some people while for others it is a no brainer.

One of the many beauties about living in the United States is that everyone is entailed to their own opinion and have the right to stand up for what they believe in. The saying is "you really don't know someone's situation until you walk in their shoes." So categorizing ALL women under one umbrella is wrong.

NO ONE likes abortion so being Pro- Choice does not make me want abortions to happen but every situation is different for every person. So I am standing up for ALL the women. Deciding to have an abortion has to be one of the most heartbreaking decisions that a woman would have to make but that decision could be the decision that saves her life. Not every woman's body is capable of carrying a child, not every rape victim is emotionally or finically stable to have a child. You just don't know someone's situation.

Putting restrictions on someone who more than likely is already going through an emotionally hard time just puts more strain on the carrier of the child. A man will never truly know or experience what it is like to carry life, so the fact that one thinks he is entailed to try to restrict what I do with my own body is beside me. I feel that it is a basic human right to be able to decide what happens to your body. The best thing to do about this subject is to educate yourself and keep an open mind.

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.

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?
