Sarahah Shouldn't Exist

"Go Kill Yourself" -Anonymous

So, many of you know about the hottest new social trend right now called Sarahah. For anyone who doesn't know what this site is, it's a site where you create an account for yourself to receive "constructive criticism". People are able to go on there and write things about yourself anonymously. The fact that people in college are using this is honestly kind of sad. You're in your twenties and you still need someone to tell you things for you to feel good about yourself.

Why do we care so much about what other people think of us? That shouldn't be important. We don't need someone to tell us we're attractive or for someone else to tell us that we are good at something. This site is honestly one of the dumbest things I have seen in my life. It's really sad how people are depending on other people to make themselves feel good about who they are as a person, or what they look like.

Moving on to the main reason why Sarahah upsets me though, is that it's a great way to cyber bully someone. Although I have not heard of any suicides from this site, it should still be taken down. You can go on there and tell someone to kill themselves and they will never know who said it. You could call someone ugly or say they should've never been born and the person will never know who it was. Personally, I wouldn't want to know who it was. Overall, I think this site is wrong and can turn into something very deadly eventually if it's not taken down soon.

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.
