In This New Age of Feminism No One is Above Respect

Call me crazy, but when I am nice to other ladies, I would like them to be nice back.

I cannot stress this enough, women supporting each other has to be something that is considered cool again. No, I am not going to come at you with all that artificial feminism crap. I mean, let's strip down. No race, political party, or social class involved. We are all women dealing with the same things: periods, men, and life. So it comes down to the real issue. Why are women so petty? Just because someone is different than you, when did that suddenly make it okay to be mean to one another?

I have this coworker who makes it a point to put me down any chance she has. Since she is above me in the work place, I make sure not to upset her. I started thinking today if this is what it has come to? When someone treats us badly we are just supposed to sit there and take it. As women, we should all be on the same team, we are all there selling one specific product and working towards a common goal. Working together makes things easier, that's for sure, and working against each other makes everything just that much harder. I am starting to understand the workplace and why there are so many issues with it, especially within this new surge of female power.

Another thing that upsets me is when you see a girl you think is super pretty, so you smile and they don't give a smile back. They actually give you a rude face. Yeah, that is not okay. I like your eyebrows and I want to make it known. Accusing me of only liking them because you are of some ethnic origin is completely rude. I don't wanna make this piece political, but honestly, it's what I do. I wish women in general would stop acting like if you aren't a Hillary-loving-vagina-wearing-democrat you suddenly aren't part of this idea of a proud strong woman. That is how hardcore new age feminism makes me feel, like I am on the outside. Correct me if I am wrong, but that seems to be the opposite of the goal of new age feminism. I want to bring back the idea that you can be a feminist without being a Democrat. This article in general is highlighting the fact that women have become so different and diverse that we are even willing to stake our lives based on who we vote for. That's wrong, let's be nice and listen to each other, Democrats and Republicans alike. And to the Democrats, I am talking to you: do not antagonize me because I like the Trump family, that is my choice.

I think I speak for us all when I say girls should really work on being nicer to each other because no one is above respect.

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.
