The Coca-Cola Video The Entire World Needs To See

Because labels are for cans, not people. Every single person needs to see this.

The Coca-Cola Video The Entire World Needs To See

This video from Coca-Cola is one I think the world is desperate to see. No matter what age you are, no matter what religion, or what reason this was made, this is a powerful message that needs to be shared.

With all of the issues going on in the world, and all of the barriers we are creating for each other, I think this speaks volumes. Everyone is judged. Everyone judges. I am guilty of it as much as the next 21 year old girl. Yet, how much better would the world be if for a second we put those judgements aside and we actually got to know the people we labeled?

I know exactly how it feels. I’ve had more people than I can count say to me “You’re in a sorority? How are you so smart?” or even a professor call me by the name “sorority girl” and tell me that I “wouldn’t understand” just because I am in a sorority. Not to mention all of the stereotypes that come along with religion, or race, or music, like is covered in the video.

So, thank you Coke. Thank you for reminding the world that labels are for cans….not people. Let’s share this and spread the word, we can make a change. God knows the world needs one.

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.
