I am aware that this is an unpopular opinion and I don't care. Every year people make such a big deal over New Years and have to plan everything out to make sure it’s the "BEST NEW YEARS EVER." Stop. We all know the same disappointing routine that happened last year is bound to repeat itself. Here's a list of 10 reasons why my unpopular opinion might not be so far off.

1. All that hype for nothing. The second the clock turns..that's it.

2. Spending money on clothes and makeup that would look weird wearing any other time.

3. Making resolutions that we all know we're going to break by January 10th (props if you even make it that far).

4. Waiting in long lines for bars that aren't there any other time.

5. Pressure to kiss someone. Why doesn't your dog count...?

6. Pressure of having that "unforgettable" New Years...that really just ends up being like any other night.

7. Not knowing when to leave. Is it okay to leave at 12:01...? Because I'm ready to leave at 12:01.

8. We just finished spending a ridiculous amount of money at Christmas and now I have to spend more a week later?

9. Extra loud noises. We don't need that. Drunk people are already loud enough.

10. The annoyingly predictable "New Year, New Me" social media posts. No, it's not a new you. You're just writing 2017 instead of 2016.

So there you have it! Now that I've listed all my reasons for not liking New Years excuse me while I go make plans to go out anyway.

Happy New Year!

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.
