5 Unpopular Opinions

We all have opinions on things in this world, and sometimes they can be considered an unpopular one. It's totally normal for this to happen, because we are each individuals with our way of thinking. It's also normal for us to have the same opinion because of the environment, culture, and beliefs we have grown up around. For a little fun, I'm going to list some of my opinions and then I'd love to hear some of your opinions!

1. Pepsi is Disgusting

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Pepsi and Coca-Cola are nasty. It's probably cause of the acidity or something in them, but either way I prefer to drink Dr. Pepper, Root Beer or Mountain Dew to either of those. Of course, if none of my favorites are available, it's always safe to go with water.

2. Military - Transgenders

I would first like to say that I am very thankful for everyone who has served, be they man, woman, or transgender. It's great that you have served the U.S.! But I do agree with the ban, because of a few things. One of them being that among the LGBT community, transgenders have the highest suicide rates. I connect that back to gender dysphoria, which is considered a mental disorder. Money wise, treatments are also on the same level as people with diabetes and they're not allowed into the military. So that leads me to think that we can save even more lives by not letting transgenders into the military until after they've completely gone through the transition.

3. Apple Juice is Better

This is an ongoing fun debate on whether apple juice or orange juice is better. Personally, I think that apple juice is the best thing in the world. I've been teased that it's my 'boyfriend' because of how much I like it. Orange juice is okay on occasion, but it has to be no pulp and with breakfast. Apple juice is awesome to drink at any time of the day because of it's soothing, sweet coolness.

4. New Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh

These newer versions of these two amazing shows are terrible. I don't know what it is about them, but I dislike them. My brother absolutely loves them. Maybe it's because I grew up watching the original shows and now seeing the spin-offs it kind of drives me up a wall. It's the same with Teen Titans, though, because the new one of that show is absolutely crazy inducing.

5. Abortion

Quite frankly, it's the woman's body and society has no say over what she does with it. I personally wouldn't ever get an abortion, but it's my body so I can make that decision. A woman who makes that decision has the right to do so, and we should give her the facilities to safely do so. We don't need woman to go to sleezy doctors who could wind up severely hurting or killing the woman. Scientifically, there's a time frame where abortion is okay to do. Late term abortions are rare and usually only done when there's a medical emergency. In the end, it's the woman's choice.


Now maybe some of these aren't that unpopular and there are a lot of people who agree, who knows! But these are what my opinions are on these few subjects. What are your opinions?

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.

"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.
