Why?

Why is it when we fall all we feel is pain?

Why?

Why is it the words we say all end up in vein?

Why?

Why is it children are brought the world, hand-picked a life and force fed a dream?

Why?

Why are they forced to live and grow and look up to parents that don’t have the title husband and wife?

Why?

Why is the title mom and dad given, but not earned?

Why?

Why can people spit out kids left and right with no thought of having a family, without a concern?

Why?

Why are children raised to be what they see?

Have you not heard the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree?

When will people, adults, children, man, woman, human kind-

Raise a world of stability and pride?

When will we get rid of the everyday empty promises and wishes that get pushed to the side?

How can we fix this and make people understand?

Understand how to be a woman, and what it means to be a man.

One action

One truth

A better you can lead to a better new

You can be the proof

When we fall we feel pain

That’s because what brings us down gives us knowledge

To strive for a better life

And in return a brighter future is what we gain

What we say just can’t be heard

Instead of the squeak of a mouse we need to roar

Children will take your advice, find a purpose and from there soar

Out on their own, looking up to the woman who could actually be a mom

Taking after a father, who for once, is the prime example of a man

Although the role models are not always what they should be

Examples are still set

They can learn and look at mom and dad and strive for the relationship that they never had

Mistakes made can only teach

Mom and dad are only names and sometimes they are out of reach

Although always close to the heart, they can show you the perfect life you need to start

They do wrong, we do right

The way we are raised does not have to be the way we live our life

The lesson of life is to forget and forgive

Sometimes the apple can fall far

To grow and succeed regardless of the depths in which live planted the seeds

To show who we could really be, who we really are

Don’t let life’s hardships and pain get down

Behind every bad joke is just a clown

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
