5 Things I Sincerely Miss About Charleston
Emma Looby

Returning home for the summer is always sweet because I live very far from CofC, so I'm not able to visit very often. While away at school, I miss drinking coffee in the morning with my mom, or working out with my sister, and going for Dairy Queen runs with my dad. During the summertime, I get to do all of these things plus catch up with my friends from high school. We reminisce about all the times together and freak out about how close we are to adulthood. Although I absolutely love doing all of these things, especially with all of these people, this summer, it is particularly hard not to miss Charleston. These are the things I miss the most about Charleston right now:

1. The food

Nothing compares to southern comfort food. Charleston has some of the most delicious food I've ever had and I am counting down the seconds until I can stuff my face again.

2. The sunshine

Charleston's sunshine has the power to lift anybody and everybody's mood. I have been daydreaming about it while I am stuck in 60-degree, rainy weather here in New Jersey.

3. My college friends

I cannot live without seeing these people's faces every day. Sorry. Nope. Not happening.

4. The beach

Do I even have to explain this? This is the most beautiful and relaxing place ever and I won't be back until August.

5. My new life

This sounds dramatic, but after living on my own for many months of the year, living under my parents' roof again can be frustrating at times. I have to readjust to life at home.

Charleston, I miss you so much. I'll be back soon, I promise. In the meantime, I'm going to spend some quality time with mom and dad.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"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.
