The Not So Nice Implications of Blue Millennials

Why an overwhelming democratic demographic of millennials is not a victory.

The numbers came in. The Democrats may have lost an election cycle, but they celebrated when they saw the future. Millennials are almost universally voting Democrat.

Let’s go ahead and assume this is true. There has been controversy over it, but I won’t address it here. This means that liberals are fighting the wrong enemy on the college campus. If you want me to be more specific, here’s a couple of things it entails:

1. The campus rape culture liberals rail against is statistically perpetuated by other liberals.

2. Mass shootings and gun violence committed by mostly young men are statistically more likely to be liberal.

3. The vandalism all too common to “peaceful protests” is perpetrated by liberals.

4.This is not a time for celebration. This ought to be a wake-up call.

My liberal friends, you’re fighting the wrong enemy if you believe conservatives are to blame for the pain millennials inflict on each other.

5. Perhaps your consent classes should have more characters with vibrantly colored hair and ear gauges instead of being clean-cut.

If you want to keep your image of diversity, I would also include people of same-sex attraction and more non-white characters.

6. Perhaps you should come clean about the political alignment of the shooters before you start twitter hashtags.

Maybe you should be more honest in your journalism about where the shootings take place. Projecting the problems you have with your own people who don’t understand guns and have no respect for them on people who grow up in a culture of guns who understand them inside and out is tiresome.


My conservative friends, if you have complaints about millennials, your complains are as much against the product of liberalism as it is against the individual you’re complaining about. I encourage you to attack the policies and ideas that motivate millennials rather than attacking the individual.

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.
