Please Social Distance

The Corona Virus has taken so much from all of us but we continue to make it worse for ourselves

I want people to start listening to the precautions and stop rebelling before this gets any worse.

I don't care if Chad from Apple Pie can't go on his Spring Break trip to Hawaii. Get over it. There will be plenty more spring break trips, it's not the end of the world. Stay home and stop only thinking about yourselves.

This is a really hard time for all of us but the least we can do is stop spreading it. The more you go out and touch things, the more germs get spread. The more people you engage with, the more it spreads. Do you see a pattern?

The government is not asking for you to stay in your house for the rest of your life, it's TEMPORARY. Things are going to get better. We can make it better and guess what? It doesn't take much. You can do it from the comfort of your couch, bed or desk. It's as simple as that.

Trust and believe me, I'm mad. So much has been taken away from me because of this virus, but I'm trying my best to not be selfish. I am currently at home and have been at home for weeks.

Do I complain? Of course. Am I happy I'm not possibly infecting others? Absolutely. Am I glad to not be part of the problem? Yes.

EVERYONE needs to respect social distancing. I know it's hard and honestly a little weird but it serves a purpose. This won't last forever. One of these days the numbers will decrease, there will be a cure and we will be able to return to normal. I dream about that every single night.

But unfortunately, my dreams and many other people's dreams, are not coming true because of selfish people who think it's a huge joke. When this is all done you can be as selfish as you want, but now isn't the time. Think a little and do the right thing.

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.
