Why Everyone Has The Right To Express Their Opinions, Even Celebrities!
Abc news

People are always doing this crazy thing called sharing their opinions, even if their opinions are hidden under rage, or elitism they still share it. When people in hollywood or artists share their opinions they’re often told to keep it to themselves.

A lot of celebrities are artists, whether it be acting,painting, writing or any form of art. They have always existed on the outskirts, they have made careers on shining a light on the parts of ourselves we don’t want to see or the parts of ourselves we have trouble seeing. Just for a moment what they create can bring us face to face with ourselves.

Recently there has been anger over celebrities sharing their opinions and people are mad.

First let me say To deny freedom of speech to any person, regardless of social standing/platform, is anti-American. To state otherwise is being hypocritical, while using the same right you are trying to deny.

The argument of people saying that celebrities shouldn’t share their opinions is like a boxing match going back and forth except its my sanity that always ends up getting punched in the face.

Honestly the reason people are mad is not because they don't care what celebrities think it’s because they do care, thats what really angers them, part of us is always listening. If nobody cared they wouldn't be talking about it. Even if what they say has some form of elitism there can still be truth in their words. We always listen when they share the same opinion, but the second its different we attack them for being part of the “hollywood elite”

An opinion is simply an opinion, but even with this is mind it when people misrepresent information due their internal bias towards a certain subject “It’s just my opinion” shouldn’t be a valid defense. As long as a celebrity or anyone shares an informed opinion backed with facts and context there should be no dilemma.

In the end though celebrities can say whatever random opinions they want, no matter how uninformed it is, some might even become president.

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 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?
