Supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement should be everyone's top priority, in my opinion. However, not everyone can get out and protest.

I am going to list ways you can support the movement from the comfort of your home. I can not stress enough though that even after the protesting dies down, DO NOT stop educating yourself and supporting the movement!!

1. Watch movies and TV shows that educate you about racism

Here is a link to an article with some ideas of movies and shows to watch.

2. Read books that educate you about racism

Here are some options.

3. Make sure your state has a hate crime law!

Georgia does NOT have a hate crime law. You can text "hatefreega" to 52886 to sign a petition asking for one!

4. Sign petitions!!!!

5. Make donations!

6. Add diversity to your household!!

You can hang up diverse posters, watch diverse TV shows, read books with diverse charcters, buy your children diverse toys, and more!

7. Email, call, and communicate with your local goverment!

8. Do NOT be "colorblind"

9. Speak up about racism and educate your friends and family!

10. Have an open mind and allow yourself to continuously be educated on the matter.

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

By: James McDonald

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.

"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.
