I’ve got Halloween on the brain, and of course with this holiday comes a sweet tooth. Let’s look at some scary good treats from the 90s that we may have forgotten all about!

Runts were the only way our young bodies could consume “fruits” without making our parents proud. These candies were available for a quarter a handful at almost any gas station, hair salon, or the like.

The Wonder Ball was truly a wonder. Chocolate, Nickelodeon, AND candy? After making it through the chocolate shell, candies and goods awaited us inside.

Push Pop was one of the classics. This re-sealable pop had a cap and clip, so we could attach it to our backpacks and keep going.

Squeeze Pop’s were a messy, guilty pleasure. Why get goo-filled candy when you can just buy the goo?

The Baby Bottle Pop lollipop and powder duo, mimicking a baby’s bottle, was almost as well known as it’s catchy TV jingle.

Chiclets combined bubble gum with extra fun. If you were anything like me, you had Chiclet teeth more than one time throughout your childhood.

My personal favorite, the LollyPop Paint Shop, was another lollipop and powder duo. This one was mimicking a paintbrush and gallon of paint.


The 90s were a great time for clothes, hair, television, AND candy! Sorry for the nostalgia, guys!

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.

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?
