I can't believe that it is almost the new year. I feel like time really flies. It is crazy to think that it is the New Year. 2018 is fast approaching and I feel like I need to get my act together. I feel like there is always so much pressure to get ready for the new year, but in reality it will be safe as always. I think this year I will try to be more adventurous. Here are a few things I will try next year.

1. Try Sky Diving.

This has always been on my bucket list. I feel like this is the year to do it.

2. Complete a whole entire pizza by myself.

I love pizza and really want to be able to do this, even if it may not be the healthiest option out there.

3. Learn a New Word Every Day.

I think that it would be great to increase my vocabulary in the new year.

4. Lose a few pounds.

If I didn't have this on my list, would it really be a new years list?

5. Try a New Hairstyle.

6. Learn a New language.

It would be nice to learn another language.

7. Work Out More.

From the amount of pizza I eat in a semester, I need to work out more.

8. Go To The Beach at 4 AM to watch the sunrise.

9. Go Cliff Diving.

10. Go Traveling to a New Place.

As every year passes by, the more cautious I become. I become worried that the next year won't be as great as I planned. In the end, it isn't about how great your year was, but how you can improve for the next year. It is better for everyone if you stay positive and hope for a better year. All the small actions count and if one day doesn't go right, there is always a tomorrow! Happy New Year everyone!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
