The SNL 40th Anniversary Special Highlights You Must See

1. Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake, a.k.a. the cutest boy BFF-couple ever, opened with a musical medley.
It will melt your heart, make you laugh, and a piece of you will die because they are so perfect.

2. The Californians Skit.
This skit stars Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisan, Bill Hader, Betty White and more. Bless Taylor Swift for her addition to the skit that is extremely awkward, yet you still have to love her. Keri Washington also makes an appearance as a character that is a far cry from Olivia Pope. Oh, and check out Bradley Cooper’s lip lock with Betty White.

3. The look back at the best politic impressions is gold.
Politics are one of the absolute best parts of SNL, hands down. The impressions are always spot-on – I mean its actually creepy how much Tina Fey looks like Sarah Palin, and who doesn’t just love Will Ferrell’s George W?

4. Will Ferrell nails the role of Alex Trebek.
Ferrell plays Trebek In Celebrity Jeopardy. The Justin Bieber and Matthew McConaughey characters will have you in stitches. Also, the inevitable Bill Cosby reference that Eddie Murphy refused to do was thrown in here.

5. Maya Rudolph pulls off a great Beyoncé.
She is phenomenal In this clip, hair blowing in the wind and all. Skip to 3:20 in this clip if you want to see the real queen (Kristen Wiig).

6. Zach Galifianakis sports a Sia wig.
After a super weird performance Sia did with Kanye, this skit aired. Galifianakis introduces a hilarious bit of Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler singing about when SNL cast members lose it and laugh mid-skit.

7. Wayne's World totally called Kanye out.
And it was great. They poked fun at the singer for inviting himself on stage a number of times as they read the Top 10 Things About SNL.

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.
