Sleep deprived studentz

By Jared Schuff Staff Writer The lack of sleep affects not only educational success, but physical safety as well. Without the right amount of rest, people are at risk of multiple health issues. Exhaustion can even lead to dangerous situations if not dealt with proactively. Many students are quickly nearing a downhill slide toward poor health and physical harm. It’s time for them to take an active role in their own sleep habits. Students don’t always make the best decisions when it comes to their sleep habits. Late night studying, among other things, is one of the biggest factors in these habits. Some students don’t even get to bed until early morning. Jon Reed, a HutchCC freshman from Hutchinson, says he usually doesn’t get to bed until 2 a.m., and wakes up around 6 a.m. That’s only four hours of sleep. “I feel like s--- when I wake up. Usually have to drink enormous amounts of coffee to get through the day,” Reed said.
Photo Illustration/The Collegian Many college students are sleep deprived, which can lead to mishaps and haphazards, including physical and mental health issues, and falling asleep while driving. Many students don’t even get seven hours of sleep at night. Bralen Martin, a Hutchinson sophomore, follows a somewhat similar routine. Usually he’s in bed around 3 a.m. in the morning and up by 9 a.m. While that’s a bit better, six hours is still not nearly enough to function properly throughout the day. Does he really feel like he is getting enough sleep?
“Sort of. I feel tired in the mornings, but usually wake up as the day goes by,” Martin said. While “sort of” is better than not, it still goes to show that students aren’t getting enough rest. This can lead to some pretty scary incidents. “One time I almost fell asleep while driving,”
Reed said. “I started to swerve, but caught myself just in time.” Falling asleep at the wheel is a serious problem, not just for the driver, but for anyone else on the road. Sleep deprivation can cause lasting health issues as well, both mentally and physically.
Students who get less than seven hours of sleep are more susceptible to anxiety and depression. They are also at risk of weight gain or weight loss, increased blood pressure, and extreme irritability Lasting effects include hypertension, diabetes and heart problems. Students should work on
prioritizing work and play, as well as designating a specific sleep schedule to keep them on track. It only takes a few weeks to set an internal clock. Sleep is a necessity for everyone, especially young students. Sleep deprivation won’t just affect grades, but cause lasting health concerns.
Why can’t we be friends?
Student/instructor communication decreasing over the years By Brenna Eller Editor-In-Chief
As Hutchinson Community College is a junior college, the students and instructors have more one-on-one interaction than that of a four-year school, where the professor might not even know the names of his or her students. That being said, broader communication is often expected of a teacher from the students. Also, just getting out of high school, where teachers cared whether or not you
pass because it is a reflection on them as a teacher, versus coming here to find out that being an adult, the instructors aren’t there to make sure you do everything right and get homework in on time. That is mainly up to the students and their responsibility to balance their lives accordingly to their academics. Some students believe that instructors communicate a fair amount, while others view the communication is lacking. HutchCC freshman Autumn Frickey, Lindsborg, gave her views on teacher-student communication.
“Honestly, the instructors I’ve had don’t communicate as I thought they would, and it’s just easier to ask friends or people in class for help,” Frickey said. Frickey makes the argument that instructors should check their email more often and that checking emails is the overall issue for articulation with instructors. When asked what her preferred method of communication, Frickey said, “I would talk to my teachers face-to-face, but normally they have to rush to their next class to get ready, so email is better.” Since communication is generally a
two-way deal, and not all of the responsibility is on the instructor, Frickey said, “Some students should ask questions earlier, but I feel as if it is both the student and the teacher’s fault. However, the school isn’t that big and I feel like they should be more one-on-one with the students.” Sociology instructor Kim Newberry, who has worked at the college for more than a decade, shared her thoughts on communication between her students, and agrees that it is lacking not only between See Communicate, Page 3

College students: not impressed being stressed Our view When college students say they are stressed, most people understand it. But some adults really don’t get how much stress a college student undergoes. As students, we get told, “you’re too young to be stressed.” They laugh as they go on with whatever they were doing, but they actually don’t realize that the recipient is holding in an explosive rant. What do college students really have to be stressed about? Well, dear readers, let’s start with the basics. College is a massive part of our days. We spend hours on campus, then spend hours working on projects and homework. There are many days that students don’t sleep or eat because they are working on homework. It’s not just regular high school work because this homework is usually worth a lot of points, and is specified for a person’s major. That means the student is going to work extra hard on the project, so they get the most out of their degree. (Which they are paying thousands of dollars to get.) Normally, college students have a job as well.

Dun-dun-dun
Jobs are hard to come by when students have little experience and are looking for part-time work that will work with their class schedule. Some students even work more than one job because the pay sucks. Minimum wage will not pay for student loans and never will. So college students are spending hours at school, then hours at work. They work themselves to the bone so they can enjoy ramen noodles at night. Not only are students doing the normal qualifications for life, but they are also expected to have good social circulation while getting eight hours of sleep at night, and three healthy meals a day. This happens pretty much never. Students are stressed and tired and exhausted each and every day. But we keep doing what we’re doing because we know that it’ll be worth it in the end. Clearly, adults have gone completely bonkers, because college students are extremely stressed. And if they want to argue about how we are just a wimpy generation, we will all gladly trade places with them because we’re tired of defending ourselves over something that is ultimately true.

The Women’s Corner
The double standards of pronouns Since the beginning of our lives, we are accustomed to the pronouns of the adults in charge. Through school, we call our teachers by a pronoun followed by their last name. But recently, I’ve come across a double standard for this simple action. We call male adults “Mr.” but we call female adults by three different pronouns, and it doesn’t make any sense to me. I never questioned it growing up, because it was just what you did. However, now that I’m older and I have more feministic genes in my brain, I’m kinda
September 11, 2001. “Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts… But they have failed. Our country is strong.” Those words, spoken by George W. Bush to a nation in despair and distress after Osama bin Laden’s attack on New York City’s World Trade Center brought about immense acts of kindness between Americans. The day following the
Columnist
Tabitha Barr pissed about it. A woman that is not married goes by “Miss”. For a woman who is married, we call them “Mrs.” But when either of those things are in place, we can also call them “Ms.”
Now why in the world do females have three different pronouns, when males only have one? Why do people need to know our relationship status? We shouldn’t be defined by our relationships with another person. We are not dependent on others to get the job done, so why should we be called by Mrs., Ms., or Miss? Not only are we defined by our marital status, but we are judged on our age. Mrs. is based on marriage, but is also seen as mid-aged and older women. Miss is used for those who are
younger. But Ms. is supposed to be used for both married and unmarried women, but we all know that most people use this term when speaking with older ladies. Why is this a thing? Why are women put in a judgmental box and given a name of what to be defined by? It’s such a big, but sutble, double standard that needs to change. But change is hard in a society where new ideas are shut down without a second thought. Women are still being treated unfairly with unequal pay, and every-
thing else that is wrapped up into being a female. Do we really need to fight for something this little? When asking a close male friend, he said it really doesn’t matter. He’s never thought of it that way and it’s not that big of a deal, which it shouldn’t be, but it truly is. I have to go through my whole life being defined on whether I am single or married. Why? If a man isn’t, why should any woman be? Women are facing so much in this day and age and this shouldn’t even be one of the things we have to fight for. It should just be

HutchCC celebrates 90th year anniversary By Kat Collins Staff Writer
This year is the 90th anniversary of Hutchinson Community College’s founding, and it’s time to celebrate. Many students said they all like the idea of celebrating our college’s 90th birthday. Earlier this year, the college had given out more than 4,000 t-shirts to Hutchinson Community College’s faculty, staff and students. And this past August, when the staff and faculty returned to work, the college had a small birthday party. At HutchCC’s Kansas State Fair booth, there were cutouts of several, past throwback Dragons and an Autographed tower that Former students and Alumni signed. So, If you want to check out that tower, it is on display in Shears Technology Center. There will be more events going on throughout this coming year so stay tuned for more information.

Dillons app is right on the money By Pablo Sanchez Campus Editor
There are many great things about Dillons whether it’s finding out you have a coupon that doesn’t expire until today or tomorrow that is still eligible for use, accessing free downloads and using their Dillons Plus card. Dillons has an app in the Google Play store that is free and can be downloaded and once downloaded, you have to create an account. The only information needed is your name, email, and address. After you have completed those steps, Dillons will then ask you to use your Plus Card. If you don’t already have a Plus card, Dillons will allow you to make one. Then after you get all of your groceries, they will scan it to be used for a discount on your
Dillons logo app purchase. A fantastic thing about Dillons is that when you’re busy and can’t find the time to get your groceries, they let you pick out the items you want on their free app to choose from. Once everything is needed, the total will appear. The only problem I have with this is you can only use Dillon’s Super Market and not any of the other Dillons. We all love coupons and Dillons does this deal on desktop and on the app, that if you buy a Visa card, you get 4 times the fuel points, more information in the store to find out how it works.
Desktop will allow you to get some free coupons every Friday, there is a set timer for the coupon to last so, you need to hurry. Since they are many other stores just like Dillons, you can use other ones such as Smith’s Market, Kroger, and many more. Just be sure to show them the Plus card and more coupons will be available for use. The application does offer customer support and, you can give fee back or let them know what issues you’re having and they will respond back within a few hours. This app will benefit college students and adults, because it gives you a spending limit on what you need to buy, so what are you waiting for? Go and get some coupons and get some fuel points with the Dillons app.

Review: Looking for a scare? Check out ‘The Nun’ By Brenna Eller Editor-In-Chief How do I say “Mind blown” in so many ways? First of all, if you haven’t seen “The Conjuring” and “The Conjuring 2”, I recommend watching them prior to this film. Even though most of the movie is set in a different time frame and location, there are still connections to “The Conjuring” movies that you will only understand if you have seen the previous movies. Being a Christian, I found this movie particularly chilling because they focus on demonic possession, even in some of the holiest/maybe not so holy of places. I give this film a thrilling five stars, because I thought the acting was incredible and the amount of jump scares was appropriate. Normally I think of myself being quite perceptive when it comes to surprises in movies, but James Wan certainly outdid himself in this one.

Sometimes classes can fluctuate when it comes to being social and in Newberry’s case, she recognizes that one class of hers is very quiet where no one hardly talks while other classes seem to carry conversations just fine.

Some are coming into this having had a job in high school, and some are looking for a job for the first time ever. They might have had a different focus at the time. Either way, there are systems put in place to help achieve whatever goal students are trying to accomplish through Hutchinson Community College. HutchCC has a service on the main website called Career Zone. It has helped so many students find jobs in the area that are perfect for them. The service helps students search and apply to local and national full-time jobs, part-time jobs, and internship opportunities. It also helps create and upload resume and career portfolio to make available for employers. Students can access event announcements, career advice documents, podcasts, videos and articles.

how stressful it is trying A list! Tips for finding a job to find a place to work in
Eight Tips from HutchCC counselor Debra Graber 1. Sometimes you just need a job to give you job experience. Someone to vouch that you are a capable human, other than your parents, teachers or coaches. 2. Find a part-time job, an internship that’s in an area of interest. 3. Apply at as many places as possible. 4. Develop a good resume. 5. Even if you haven’t had a job before you can put what experiences you’ve had, what things are you good at. You can have a resume without having previous job experience. 6. Don’t be picky! 7. Ideally if you could find a job that’s going to match up with some things you’ve done in the past then it’ll be more enjoyable to go to work. 8. Networking, ask instructors, friends, family members. A large percentage of jobs aren’t advertised! It’s word of mouth or recommendations. na MacLean, a Belleville sophomore, she said that if you are wanting to work at a specific place, or have something in mind that is not restaurant or retail related, good luck. After asking how difficult is it to snag a job while in school, MacLean said that it probably is not that hard, and that you could easily get a job at Walmart, or somewhere like that. Trying to keep her grades up while working is always a struggle for her. MacLean also said
or instructions for an assignment, and then wonder why they get the grade that they got.” She also said that it is irritating when that same student doesn’t talk to her about their grade and how to get extra credit. Brawner’s preferred method of communication is to talk in person because she feels that it is much more personal and rather than hiding behind a screen to tell her they will miss class; the student is explaining to her face why they missed or will miss. All teachers have certain ethics/ guidelines for communication. They understand if the student is sick, email is acceptable, but some teachers, like Brawner would much rather students use Learning Zone than regular email to communicate.
Hutchinson once the school year has already begun. MacLean said good places to apply would be hotels or any retail store. After August rolls around, all the decent jobs are taken, and you are forced to apply at fast food places. “And no one has a good time doing either of those ... ever,” MacLean said. After asking if she had heard of Career Zone and what help it could be to the students of HutchCC, MacLean was shocked that she had never heard a thing about it.
Brawner wants her students to understand that what they learn in college is what they will use later on in life. She wants her students to succeed, so she said said she believes communication is a necessity and with technology continuously changing, students don’t get the one-on-one they need for future careers. Instead, students use their laptops or phones as a barrier. On the other hand, with communication Brawner said, “Other students are great about it, they know what they’re doing and what they want out of life, and when students are more willing to put in effort, I am more willing to help them.” About other instructors Brawner said, “I think instructors do a good job communicating and setting examples for their students.”

Marvelous Moeder By Rebecca Carney Co-Sports Editor
Hutchinson Community College soccer player Brailey Moeder is not your average player. She was a former Hutchinson High School standout and came to play soccer at HutchCC under coach Sammy Lane. Moeder was not always a standout soccer player, though. Throughout high school, Moeder worked hard and showed her coaches what a talented player she is. Now, as a sophomore forward for HutchCC, Moeder is one of the top forwards and goal scorers in the Jayhawk West Conference. As Moeder’s sophomore year of college rolled around, she continued to standout. Out of the first six games the women’s soccer team has played this season, Brailey started in five of them. In those six games, she scored six goals, with two of them being a game winning goal. She has six assists and made one penalty kick, tying the game against Barton in a thrilling 3-3 tie. Moeder has been a key player in the soccer’s team success this season and Lane has noticed. “Brailey has stepped up for us,” Lane said, “I

When the Blue Dragons played Barton Community College in early September, Brailey had a standout game. Late in the game, with the soccer team trailing 3-2,
the Blue Dragons were awarded a penalty kick, and Moeder was the brave soul who decided to take the shot. Moeder ended up scoring the goal, tying the game against Barton. “It gave me chills, to be honest. It was a lot of pressure and it was amazing,”
Moeder said. Throughout the years, Moeder has improved tremendously as a soccer player, but not without a little hard work. For Moeder, it was nice to finally see that hard work pay off saying, “There’s always room for improvement. I’m not just going to settle for what I
thought was a good goal. That’s not me, I want to be better than that.” Moeder has worked hard throughout the years to become the soccer player she is today. The results are something that Brailey is pleased with and hopes to see more of in the future.
