Conspiracy theories are some of the craziest things you’ll ever hear, something strange happened you’ll probably hear a conspiracy theory about it. They are these crazy stories that probably aren't true but you kinda want to think their true because it’d be exciting. One of these stories that has lingered for a long period of time is the conspiracy theory about the men in black

Yes you've probably seen or heard of the movie but thats not what I'm talking about, in reality the men in black have a long history of being involved in conspiracy theories dating back to as early as the 1940’s. Men in Black are those who visit people who have seen alien evidence and then threaten them to stay quiet about what they saw. The first recored sighting of the supposed men in black was by Harold Dahl in 1947. Dahl allegedly saw six ufo’s at Maury Island and claimed to have taken photos of what he saw but Dahl claimed that a man in black ruined his photo preventing anyone from seeing whatever evidence he had.

A more recent encounter and frightening encounter with the men in black was in 1976. Dr Herbert Hopkins. Hopkins was at the time a consultant on an alleged UFO teleportation case in Maine. One day when he was home alone he got a phone call from a man who claimed to be the vice president of the New Jersey UFO Research Organization (this organization doesn't exist btw). The man on the phone asked if he could visit Hopkins house to discuss details about the case he was consulting on. Hopkins agreed and then in no time, Hopkins opened his door to see two men dressed in black suits, very pale faces and no hair including a lack of eyebrows. They talked for a bit with the men in black eventually showing them a penny in their hand which slowly changed color and then dematerialized. The men in black than told Hopkins to destroy all of his research he had on UFO’s.

The most recent men in black sighting happened in 2009 in Niagara falls. A hotel manager and security guard that worked at the Sheraton hotel supposedly in October of 2008 saw a triangular UFO at Niagara Falls. In May of 2009 two men dressed in black visited the Sheraton hotel looking for the employees who saw the UFO. Neither of the two where working that day but supposedly the men in black were repeatedly asking to see them. The footage is contained here in this youtube video.

Now in reality are these stories true? Are the men in black real? Probably not, but it is strange that there are so many supposed encounters with them. Separately none of the stories would hold any significance, but maybe the fact that so many of them exist could mean something. If anything, if they ever decide to reboot the men in black movie series and turn into a thriller there’s plenty of source material for them to use.

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.
