10 Strange Thoughts For the Sleep Deprived
Eric Kilby

It is right around the time that sleep deprivation kicks into over-drive (aka finals week) that the filter in my brain known as "reality and social norms" decides to go on vacation. During its relaxing break, the entities known as "Strange Thoughts" suddenly being to spawn, and like any middle-school student can tell you, when the teacher doesn't show up, chaos ensues. Instead of attempting to hold these down however, I've decided to share a few with you.

I apologize beforehand...

1. If a prison warden breaks the law, does he have to go to his own jail?

2. If caffeine is a drug, why can't we call out DARE officer who showed up at our elementary school's with a cup of coffee?

3. If you're born on the U.S. Canadian border and your parents have dual citizenship, what are you?


4. If a kid wins a bunch of money and purchases the land his home is on, does "my house, my rules" still apply

5. If "sleep is for the weak" and people say they'll "sleep when their dead", why are zombies so terrifying?

6. [To Hipsters] If a mainstream band goes underground, do you get ultra points for saying you liked them "after they were big" ?

7. If their are child-stars, do elderly-stars exist too?


8. If oil comes from the remnants of dinosaurs, will the species of the future use us to fill up their gas tank?


9. Since kids have internet now, is "The Talk" still a thing?


10. How weird does an article have to to get kicked off of The Odyssey?

[A note from the editor] Keep trying!

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.

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.
