A Few Reasons Why Seagulls Should Go Extinct
Ashlyn Edmondo

As I've been sitting and enjoying myself by the hotel pool here in San Diego for my cousin's wedding, I've had a few menacing visitors! The seagulls just never stop. They're everywhere, bugging and stealing and "mine,mine, mine-ing" (for those of you who have seen finding nemo)! I discussed with my cousins some reasons why seagulls should just go extinct!


1. They steal sunscreen.

Talking to my cousin, she told me she had a seagull steal her sunscreen right out of her hands!


2. They are just plain aggressive birds!

Seagulls will do anything for a bite of food or to steal something. Watch out, they'll bite you!


3. They live in places that aren't even the sea.

For my devout followers, you know I live close to Lake Tahoe, and seagulls are residents of Lake Tahoe as well! Darn birds ruining our mountain lake!


4. They poop on you.

This one is pretty self explanatory for all birds. They poop like any other animal, but for Seagulls, I think it is intentional!


5. They aren't afraid of humans.

Seagulls will walk up to any of us humans and strike up a conversation like we're old friends! You may try to shoo it away, but that never seems to work!


6. They steal breadsticks straight out of your hand.

My family and I were at the San Diego zoo years back and my sister had a breadstick in her hand while up on my dads shoulders. A seagull dive bombed and swiped the breadstick right out of her hand! Lesson learned, don't eat breadsticks on dad's shoulders!


7. They were perfectly portrayed in finding Nemo.

Whenever anyone sees a seagull they say, "mine!"


8. They have seagull telepathy.

When there's food or people on a beach with food, they swarm. They jump you like some kind of seagull gang!


9. They stare into your soul.

Seagulls want to make sure you know that they are the superior species, but that is not the case.

Seagulls are a menace to society and bug the human race. I know wishing extinction on an animal is harsh, but man, seagulls are awful!

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.

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.
