Once upon a time, father and son Dwight and Steve Hammond of Burns, Oregon, set their home ablaze and, as a result, were sent to jail. Once upon about three years later, they were sent back to jail because the original judge mistakenly gave them less prison time than the official minimum sentence. This sentence sparked a group of completely unrelated people to take over a national wildlife reserve in Oregon, where they plan to remain until further notice.

However, they must not have planned ahead, because one member of these Oregon Militia Men requested care packages from the public the other day, specifically asking for snacks and energy drinks. If you support them and want to go outside of the box in setting up your care package, this list is for you! Prepare to delve into the minds of the Oregon Militia Men and find out what they really wish you’d send them.

1. Snacks

Yes, of course, snacks had to be first on the list! You and I both know that it’s impossible to commit acts of terror on an empty stomach. The Oregon Militia Men are especially fond of beef jerky, Nerds Rope, and those gummy Krabby patties.

2. Entertainment


You can’t have snacks without some movies and video games, right? Several Militia Men specifically requested National Treasure, “Call of Duty,” and any edition of “Nintendogs.”

3. Money

Even an Oregon Militia Man can’t live off of junk food and energy drinks. This can help them order a pizza or something to the building they took over.

4. US History Textbooks

Hey, if they’re not going anywhere, might as well educate them on the things they’re fighting for/against. (P.S. Have you ever heard of the Second Amendment?)

5. Portable Chargers/Generators and Lights

For when they can no longer pay the electric bill and inevitably get cut off. How many Oregon Militia Men does it take to change a lightbulb? More importantly, how many lightbulbs does it take to change a person?

6. Hostages

Do you have someone just lying around that you don’t like? A younger sibling, a bad roommate, etc. Send him or her to the Oregon Militia Men! Everyone knows terrorists get their messages across better when they’re holding hostages.

7. Guns/Other Weapons

Why not, right? The Second Amendment gives us the right to bear arms, and if you’re not making the most out of that .22 semiautomatic you’ve got hanging around in the garage, donate it to the cause! The more the merrier!

8. Alcohol

On second thought, keep the alcohol. Drink yourself stupid to forget that people are defending two men who committed arson by taking over some random federal building in Oregon.

9. The Constitution

Because they love it so much. With all the newfound time they have staying in the building indefinitely, maybe they can read through it and find important laws to follow other than the Second Amendment. Like the one about not committing arson.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

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.

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.
