It's almost mid-quarter, which means that you can feel your energy and resolve quickly fleeing you, like seniors from any social gathering. You need to clear your mind. You need to lighten your heart. You need to regain the ability to efficiently write a 10-page paper in a 24 hour period. What you really need is a good comedic cleanse. I've presented you with some of the funniest, silliest, and gut-wrenchingest videos on the internet. Watch one or a few or all of them and then get back to studying for that Orgo exam.


1. "Space Pants"

If you like that guy from "Game of Thrones" and "Gwen Stefani," you'll love this hilarious and weirdly catchy new song.



2. "YOLO"

I'm a big fan of the Lonely Island, especially when they have great guests like Adam Levine and Kendrick Lamar to make their music and their videos even more iconic.


3. "HUGS"

Pharrell might have given us "Happy" but "HUGS" is one of his better and lesser-known masterpieces.



4. "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros"

Brett and Jemaine are kooky, to say the least. Their attempt to rap in this video is heartwarming and hilarious.



5. "Think About It"

Brett and Jemaine once again kill it with this ridiculous ear worm. You'll definitely be bopping along to think about it as you try to connect Shakespeare with Foucault in that Gender Studies paper.



6. "Inner City Pressure"

Life in the city has got you down? Let Brett and Jemaine commiserate with you in this '80s style jam.



7. "Threw it on the Ground"

The Lonely Island outdoes themselves with this video. It's pretty cathartic and it will leave you wondering what you can throw on the ground, like maybe your laptop or that huge Bio textbook?


8. "Flicker"

I have a friend who does this to everyone. If you have a friend like that, this video is probably where they got it from.


9. "Substitute Teacher"

This is a classic from Key and Peele, the masters of critical comedy. This video will have you laughing and thinking about racial inequity.


10. "Continental Breakfast"

This is indescribable. I first saw this video while eating a continental breakfast. It'll tickle you, even if you don't have access to a buffet of free(ish) food.


11. "Brian Regan on Flying"

Brian Regan is one of my favorite comedians. He keeps it pretty clean, but he's also not afraid to be ridiculous. Check out his unique take on flying:


12. Jim Gaffigan - "Hot Pocket"

This is the segment of segments from old Gaffigan. "Hot Pockets" is a classic, which (weirdly) might leave you craving the molten rectangles.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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?
