why we're so damn groovy

The Visionaries of the New Generation

When it comes to visual arts, there is never two of the same kind or similarities; everything and everyone delivers in a gifted way. Our generation of young adults have stepped over everyone and shown them exactly how talented and intellectual we can be despite those who dislike how we operate and act. Today's generation are super bad-asses and we love to start new trends. If you're on social media (specifically Instagram & Tumblr) you'll notice overtime how much we continue to bring to the plate, whether it's through music, art, photography, drawing, or even spoken word and poetry. I'd like to say from my perspective that our generation of young visionaries are a separate community to an extent. Yes, some may be young and still living with their parents, but there's plenty who are on their own. With that being said one place we can all come together and unite is through social media.

For the older generation who was brought up on a specific platform, we are their children, but many think that since we were raised by our parents who were influenced by their parents, we're told specifically how to conduct ourselves in ways to please them. That's one aspect where we come in and change the status of that. Our views may seem crazy and impossible but what if? What if the adults would stop trying to force us to present a certain image of ourselves, especially if the image is something that we don't like or want to portray for others to see. What if ? What if we continue to change the status quo and see overtime how we can act & do, not according to our parents or adult figures, but for ourselves. There are many adults who may insist that it would lead to nothing but destruction & mayhem but there are still many young adults like myself who don't do any literal crazy things but should be able to do what we want to do without any questioning or negative comments. There will be a time where we permanently change the status of how we grow up and make the world actually see what's going on. I'd like to think that we are the ones to successfully do this and dominate the arts culture like no other has. In today's time, we are getting young visionaries (literally some young ones) as young as 14 year old celebrity Rowan Blanchard. The lover of Harry Potter, chocolates, and Beyoncé shows us on her Instagram just how visually inclined she is. Along with Willow Smith and many others, they are the few celebrities within our visionary circle that continue to describe to the world exactly who we are. The only person who knows yourself better than your parents is yourself. If you're a poet, misfit, a dreamer or a schemer, don't change. If you're a rebel, a lover, a doer, or a thinker, don't change. There will come a time that we will not be looked at any longer as crazy or different. Be patient my dreamers, our time is coming.

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.
