Trigger Warnings, Safe-Spaces, Microaggressions: What ever happened to free speech and a healthy debate?

U Mass College Republicans

While the year isn't over yet, 2016 has already blessed us with so many college students triggered by their own reflection that I just couldn't resist but to drop the list a month early. For once, lets cheer to safe-spaces, trigger warnings, and these so called microagression's that these students demand we take seriously.

On one of the final stops of The Dangerous Faggot Tour, spring edition, Milo Yiannopoulos was joined by Dave Rubin who famously dubbed the term "regressive left." Apparently their talk was too much for this poor girl to handle. It's doubtful she ever made it inside.

After vandalizing college property she had a few words for her audience.

Skip to 1:20 and things get interesting. Apparently smearing fake blood on yourself really helps your cause.

Famously known as Trigglypuff, social justice warrior and fat activist Cora Segal just couldn't handle hearing Christina Hoff Sommers speak at U-Mass last April when she was joined by Steven Crowder and Milo Yiannopolus on stage.

Triggered by the Trump table at University of Pittsburgh.

A Young Americans for Freedom meeting at Kansas University recently went out of control when YAF and other students debated safe spaces. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/26/so...

Milo speaks at DePaul University and the event gets taken over by triggered protestors.

Apparently legal immigration is awfully triggering.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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?
