Some people thrive with a home workout routine. There are so many YouTube videos full of helpful instruction and step-by-step guides that allow you to bring almost any workout to your living room, assuming you have the right equipment. While this doesn't work for everyone, many of us have adapted our previous workout preferences to a home workout routine thanks to many gyms and studios being partially (or fully) closed thanks to coronavirus (COVID-19).

That being said, there are plenty of fairly cheap things you can add to your home workout set-up to elevate your home workout routine and bring a little more of that "studio feel" to your living room.

1. Yoga blocks

A yoga mat is a fantastic start to your zen environment, but if you're looking to grow in your yoga abilities, yoga blocks can act as a helpful tool for transitioning into more balance-oriented movements.

2. Kettlebell

Kettlebells are a great way to incorporate weights into your home workout. They're fairly small and easy to store while making a huge impact whenever you decided to add them to things like squats, deadlifts, and lunges.

3. Ankle/wrist weights

What seem like "easy" arm and leg workouts aren't as simple with the small addition of ankle/wrist weights. Even a one- or two-pound difference can quickly tone those muscles!

4. Quick-dry towel

Even if you're at home, those YouTube workouts can get sweaty!

5. Dumbbell

Getting tired of using those wine bottles or canned goods for arm day? Maybe it's time to actually buy a dumbbell.

6. Jump rope

Mixing up your cardio routine is easy when you have a jump rope handy.

7. Yoga ball

Trade in that work from home couch seat with a yoga ball. Who says you can't work on your balance while you're killing it at work?

8. Running vest

If you need to run early in the morning or late at night, you need a reflective running vest to make sure you're safe.

9. Resistance bands

Add a little more pizazz to those leg lifts and squats with a resistance band.

10. Medicine ball

Medicine balls aren't just the big, clunky things you see at the gym. You can add a smaller, still incredibly effective medicine ball to your home routine, too!

11. Interlocking tiles

Tired of working out on that hardwood floor or carpet? Get some stackable, interlocking mat tiles to elevate your workout space (and then easily store when you're done).

12. Foam roller

Just because you're working out at home doesn't mean you can skip the cool-down! Help soften that soreness with a foam roller.

13. Pull-up bar

Turn one of your doors into a helpful workout tool, with this multi-purposed pull-up bar.

14. Sliders

Make mountain climbers a little more challenging by adding sliders! It doesn't matter if you're working with carpet or hardwood floors, these sliders are double-sided and ready for either surface.

15. Ab roller

Work on your balance and core strength by incorporating an ab roller into your workout.

16. Personal blender

You may not be able to hit up the studio juice bar after your workout anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't blend up a smoothie at home!

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?

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.
