8 Signs You're From Chanhassen, MN

Chanhassen, Minnesota. A beautiful town, made up of about 24,500 people, located in the western part of the state. If you're from Chanhassen, or attended school there, you can probably relate to these eleven signs that you're from "Chanhappening."

1. You either attended Chanhassen High School, or know someone that has/does.

You know that although your mascot isn't that intimidating (I mean, c'mon... the Storm?), you'll always root for your team, whether it be in football, or in speech.

2. You've told everyone that visited that Prince's recording studio was based in Chanhassen.

And you know that rumor has it that when it's lit up in purple lights, Prince is home.

3. When you try to tell people where Chanhassen is, you automatically say "there's a dinner theatre there!"

If they don't know what the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre is, they won't know where Chanhassen is.

4. You live for the rivalry between Chanhassen and Chaska.

Even though we're in the same district, the rivalry is enormous, and Chaska vs. Chanhassen games are always packed.

5. You, or someone you know, has been featured in the local newspaper, the Chanhassen Villager.

A classic small town newspaper, it's as charming and informative about your neighbors as it can get.

6. You've been to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, and just refer to it as "the Arboretum" now.

Your parents have probably dragged you here more than a few times to go on walks with them, and admire the foliage.

7. You've told people all about the local cult, Eckankar, and have shown them the golden pyramid located in the center of Chanhassen.

"Did you know that they think that Chanhassen is the center of the universe?"

8. Even though it's hard to live in suburban Chanhassen sometimes, it's your home.

And you love it.

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.

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.
