Hint: if you're in my 9 a.m. Friday discussion, I will be sitting in the back corner nearest to the door with an oversized hoodie and a plastic bag.

Being in one of the bigger programs, it's very easy to meet people experiencing your happiness as well as pain, and as a science major, I have plenty of both.

1. How is a 4 hour lab one credit..

Actually though, let me know the reasoning behind this.

2. Where do I even start in the real world?

I love science classes, but a lot of my time is spent doing work that has no push towards any one specific job. I've gone through half of undergrad and have less of an idea what I want to do when I graduate. Yay.

3. Yeah, I have a research position and ____.

Internships aren't as big of a thing, it's research position after research position. What am I researching? Honestly not really sure but that's what my job title says!

4. I got the average test grade!

We're just not going to focus on the fact it was a 61%.

5. I wish one semester I could have a decent looking Friday.

99% chance it's never going to happen. I guess STEM loves their Friday discussions, as I haven't had a semester yet where I can sleep in on Friday. Unless I ~forgot to set my alarm~, which oddly happened quite a bit.

6. What's my professors name again?

Me on the last day of school trying to do professor reviews. Big classes = never really meeting them.

7. When the hell am I ever going to use this?

Okay, so this one is mostly me in any math class ever. The word calculus alone gives me shivers, and even a basic statistics class had me throwing papers around. Let me know why I worked an hour on ONE problem, to come to the conclusion females ages 18-24 prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate. Thrilling.

8. At least I can go and talk to no one.

Half of my classes are 300 people, so if needed I can come late and just blend in in the back. It's great

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.
