Ah, the notorious Stoke Hall, home to over 600 freshman and sophomore students. Stoke Hall definitely has a reputation on campus at the University of New Hampshire. Anyone you meet on campus definitely has a story or opinion on Stoke Hall and the people who live in it. But, to the people who actually live at Stoke, hearing about everyone's opinions (usually negative) definitely get a little annoying and outrageous at times. Here are 10 signs you live in Stoke Hall!

1. The elevators are always broken.

Waiting for the elevators is tedious enough, let alone if there is only one running. Props to the people who live on the eighth floor.

2. Stillings is bae.

Forget about Hoco or Philly -- having Stillings right next door is much more convenient.

3. Wild Kitty is your go to 1 AM snack.

Wild Kitty is major key after a night out.

4. You live in a forced triple.

If you're a freshman, it's very likely that you live in a forced triple or know someone who lives in a forced triple.

5. Williamson and Christensen are foreign to you.

What do you mean you live in a tower?

6. You constantly hear, "Isn't it always crazy?" and "How do you get work done?"

*rolls eyes in the back of head*

7. Going out is easy with Frat Row less than a minute away.

You don't have to think about making a trek across campus to go to a party.

8. You see a new face everyday.

With over 600 people living here, you are constantly running into new people whether you are in the elevator or just walking down the hall.

9. You immediately bond with people who live or lived at Stoke.

It's always exciting when you go out and meet someone who lives/lived in Stoke.

10. No other dorm feels like home.

Your roommates and floor mates are basically like family and Stoke will forever be your home away from home.

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.
