You know what's relatable and shareable? Lists about where you live, because everyone knows exactly what its like to be on main street having getting that sonderous feeling that everyone gets. I bet that everyone knows what it's like to live in one of those towns, and I know you'll get what I mean with these little moments!

1. There's Nothing To Do


Literally nothing is possible to do within town because actions are meaningless. Nothing ever changes or happens because quite simply, there is nothing to do.

2. Being Able To Drive Is A Must

By taking a writing and a practical driving exam, as well as providing proper documentation at the local Department of Motor Vehicles branch, one may obtain a certification granting them permission to operate a vehicle without supervision, which is so totally needed here.

3. And Once You're In High school, It's Everything


Because once you start going to the local high school, you're in high school to do high school things. Prom. Class. That one teacher everyone knows and loves. Those two teachers who are probably having an affair. That kind of stuff.

4. People Are Always Talking About School Rivalry


All of those schools having rivalries, taunting and teasing each other for some reason that no one really knows or understands. Perhaps, it is merely a way to fill in the oppressive emptiness that comes from having nothing to do, and because those guys from the other school are losers.

5. Everyone Knows Everyone!


You can't go anywhere without running into someone that you know. It's like they're always following you! No matter where you go: when you're shopping, when you go for a walk, and even when you run through the forest late at night. They always find you. L O L

6. You Always Wave Hi To People You Pass

To this day the reflex is deeply instilled. You probably had that rebellious phase where you tried to not wave. Once you came out of the coma, you realized that its such a nice gesture - you'll continue to uphold it forever.

7. The Bugs Are The Worst


This one goes without saying.

8. You Know Which Roads To Avoid


Not everywhere can be perfect. Sure, sometimes people go missing, but it's the price to pay for a crimeless town. Everyone gets their pound of flesh!

9. You Had To Get Out As Fast As Possible


You had no other choice, they were closing in on you from all sides. You couldn't stay any longer without risking your life... or worse.

10. But You Still Miss It


Sometimes late at night you can hear it out there, calling you, whispering through the dark.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
