Eight Things To Look Forward To In 2016

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of Facebook's New Year’s resolution announcements. They can start to make you feel like you need to buy a gym membership, donate to the ASPCA and get engaged. I try to not make a resolution because they never last more than a few weeks, I’d rather just put an effort into bettering myself on a daily basis without a goal in mind. If you’re like me and want to get away from all of the resolutions, here are some good things that you can look forward to in 2016 that don’t require you to stop eating cake:

"Finding Dory" - June 16th, 2016

Don’t act like you aren’t excited for this sequel.

2. A new president - November 8th, 2016

Okay, to be honest, this one gives me a little bit of anxiety. But if all goes well, I hope an elderly white guy will be sitting in the oval office by the end of 2016.

3. Tours, tours and more tours

We all saw the insanity of people trying to buy Adele tickets a couple of weeks ago but there’s still plenty of time to get one on stubhub. (Or if you’re like me, to Justin Bieber’s Purpose tour).

4. "Orange Is The New Black" Season 4 - June

Word is that Ruby Rose is going to have an even bigger role next season (as if you needed any more reasons to watch).

5. The new iPhone - Rumored sometime between June-September

Apparently it isn’t going to have a headphone jack or home button. All I can hope for is new emojis.

6. "Girls" Season 5 - February 21st

I know Lena Dunham isn’t for everyone, but she’s everything for me.

7. The Olympics - August 5th

Let’s be honest, most of us only watch the opening ceremony (right?) I don’t know if Rio can compare to the Spice Girls reunion but they can try.

8. Beyonce’s Streetwear Line With Topshop CEO

There isn’t much to be said about this besides that it’s happening and there’s a 99% chance I’ll want all of it.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
