10 Things To Be Thankful For At Wagner College
Olivia Melillo

During this time of the year, we find ourselves reflecting on all things we should be thankful for. Whether that be your parents buying you a new car a few months ago or your professor canceling class the day your 12 page paper was due, giving you the weekend to procrastinate just as much as the first time around. We all have the little things in life we're happy to have whether they be daily or yearly occurrences. But one thing any given Wagner Student can tell you is that no matter how much they may hate the school, they’re thankful for these 10 vital things.

  1. Being able to leave your dorm and make it to any other destination on campus on time.
  2. Never walking more than 30 feet and seeing someone you know.
  3. The self motivation to go to class because the largest classes are 30 people and the professor WILL know you are not there.
  4. The smell of deep fryers lingering in the air while walking to union.
  5. No matter what building you live in, you can get your take out delivered right to the door.
  6. The school provides transportation from the ferry back to campus so you do not have to pay for a taxi every time you go out to the city.
  7. You can get a 4 year bachelor's degree and be deemed employable without being all that skilled.
  8. Sometimes the public safety personnel driving around in golf carts will take you to your building if they’re feeling generous.
  9. There are several performances on campus during the year so there is always an opportunity to go get some fun and free entertainment.
  10. No matter where you go in life, Wagner will always be there with open arms.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
