We're not meat.

To all of the guys that get some sort of joy from staring down women in the street, thus making women feel awkward:

What's so enjoyable about staring at women like they're pieces of salami? Are you hungry when you look at said women? You do know that women are people too, right? They may not look like you, and they don't have the same genitals as you men do, but us women are still people.

When you stare at women as they're walking and ignoring you, does this make you feel like you've done something productive with your life? Do you know that there are apps such as Tinder and Bumble that allow you to stare at photos of women without making them feel weird? Trust me — staring at a woman's profile on either app is a million times better than hovering over women in the street just to stare at them. Chances are, they don't want you all up in their face. Also, chances are, your breath probably smells much worse than a wet dog, which is another thing that women don't want to feel anywhere near them.

Now I'm not sure if you "men" that stare at women like they're pieces of salami have someone that you're seeing that happens to be a female in your life, but if you do, good for you. I'm not saying to keep your eyes off of other people, but if you're doing it in a sexual manner in the street to a woman while you're in some form of a relationship, just stop what you're doing. Staring at a woman in the street in hopes of something sexual while you're in a relationship isn't cute.

Chances are, if you lose control and try to do something to the woman, she's going to call you a creep and tell you that you have issues with yourself. Also, if the woman in your life finds out that you're trying to do sexual things to other women in the street as you're seeing her, she's going to be pissed at you for not being able to control your other head.

Now, "men" of the world, let me leave you with some last words. If a woman shows some sort of discomfort as you're staring at her in the street, stop what you're doing and just walk away. Not only will you be stopping yourself from potentially being embarrassed in a public setting by someone that you don't know, the woman that you were staring at will feel more comfortable that you're not all up in her face.

Sincerely,

One of many women of society that doesn't want you men all up in my face as I'm trying to get sh*t done.

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.
