All he wants is attention and affection.

I don’t want you to get things twisted, I am no Barney Stinson. I do not watch movies and root for the bad guys. I know people like Johnny Lawrence and Hans Gruber are villains, but my guy Sid does not share the same company.

Sid from “Toy Story” is nothing more than a misunderstood kid who wants to be loved.

People out there like to classify him as a bully, but who does Sid really bully? There’s no evidence of him harassing Andy. The only people Sid bullies in this movie are toys. I repeat, TOYS! Inanimate objects that Sid has no idea are actually alive.

I’m sure if Sid knew these toys had souls and feelings he wouldn’t be taking off their heads and limbs. However, he does not, so he chooses to have fun with toys by performing operations on them that show creativity and the potential of a future doctor, not a villain.

The real root of Sid’s harassment of inconsequential toys in their lifeless and meaningless state is him calling out for attention. Based on the amount of time Sid has to skateboard to Pizza Planet and strap toys to rockets in his yard, we can conclude that his parents aren’t around too often. Sid isn’t bullying these toys just for enjoyment, but to have the father we never really see notice him.

Sid just wants to be loved. Unfortunately, Woody and Buzz ruin any last chance he has at love. Woody leading the toys in Sid's backyard to come to life and scare him is a turning point in Sid’s life that he can never recover from.

The impact of this event takes Sid from a slight misfit to the crazy kid talking about how toys came alive and attacked him. This is something he will never stop talking about and will always be haunted by. The therapy bills are going to be through the roof and his psyche will never be the same.

Sid, the potential future doctor, scholar, and brain surgeon will most likely spend the rest of his days in a mental institution because of stupid toys like Woody and Buzz. The toys are supposed to be there for kids and if that means getting strapped to a rocket, then stay on that rocket Buzz. I don’t think I’m too crazy to say that human lives matter more than toy lives.

Next time you watch “Toy Story” I hope you feel good about yourself when you cheer on these toys ruining a child’s life. As for me, I will continue to love Sid, a misunderstood genius who just wanted to play rough with his toys and get a hug from his dad.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
