'Big Brother' Is Ultimately THE Show Of The Summer

If you're anything like me, once spring rolls around, you anxiously begin to search online for the premiere dates of the hit show of the summer: Big Brother. If you haven't watched the show, I feel sorry for you.

The rundown: Big Brother is a reality show about approximately 16 contestants, called "house guests", who live together in a high-tech hose for the summer with absolutely no privacy. There are thirty plus cameras located around the house watching their every move.

Each week, all the house guests compete for the "Head of Household" title. This means that they nominate two house guests for eviction.

Following the HoH competition, the HoH, the two nominees, and three other house guests chosen by random draw compete for the "Power of Veto", which is the power to veto one of the nominees, and the Head of Household must put up a replacement nominee.

At the end of the week, the house guests vote to evict one of the two nominees. And then they do it all again the next week.

Sounds like just a lot of competing, right? Wrong.

It is a game of strategy. Emotions are running high inside the house. There are alliances that form, romances, or "showmances", and friendships. With all of this in the mix, it is a time you don't want to miss. People turn on alliances, fight with one another, and there is never a dull moment.

And the best part: the show is on THREE TIMES A WEEK.


And every season, there is a new twist. In the past, they have included a third nominee, new competition, or previous houseguests returning to the game for revenge.

All in all, it is a show that you don't want to miss. And let me say, it is incredibly addicting, and 100 percent binge-able.

As the show's motto states, "expect the unexpected."

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?
