10 Things You Should Ask For This Christmas
Future Thinking

Don't know what to ask for this Christmas? I've got you covered. Here are 10 Christmas gifts that you should be excited about if you see them under your tree.

1. Amazon Echo Dot

The Echo Dot is a smaller, more compact version of the original Echo. It is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses a voice named Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, provide information, read the news, set alarms, and more.


2. Spotify Premium

With Spotify Premium, you can play any song, download music, so no internet is needed, never hear ads, and listen to your favorite songs in high definition.


3. Rebecca Minkoff Cable Knit Tech Beanie

The Rebecca Minkoff Cable Knit Tech Beanie is wired with headphones so you can be connected while staying warm and cozy.


4. Apple iPhone 7

Yet another iPhone has reached store shelves just in time for Christmas. The iPhone 7 has better performance and battery life than any other iPhone, as well as new finishes, water resistance, and stereo speakers.


5. Spikeball Game Set

Look familiar? Probably because you've seen it on Shark Tank. Spikeball is played with 2 teams of 2 and a taut hoola-hoop sized net placed between the teams. The game begins with a player serving the ball down on the net so it ricochets up at the other team . They have up to 3 hits between them to bounce it back off the net toward their opponents. When they miss, you score. Oh, and there are no boundaries. Run around the net as much as you'd like.


6. Microsoft Surface Pro 4

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is a tablet that can replace your laptop. It is super thin, fast, versatile, and built to run professional-grade software.


7. Daydream View

Daydream View is a virtual reality headset and controller by Google that lets you explore new worlds, kick back in your personal cinema, and play games that put you at the center of action. It also allows you to experience concerts, sports, and the entire Youtube catalog, including a rich set of 360° panoramic videos.


8. Fitbit Charge 2

The Fitbit Charge 2 provides you with PurePulse heart rate, multi-sport tracking and connected GPS, call, text, and calendar alerts, cardio fitness level, and guided breathing sessions. Unlike the original Fitbit Charge, the Charge 2 offers interchangeable accessory bands, so you aren't stuck with sporting the black band 24/7.


9. U45 Drone with HD Camera

The U45 Drone offers a one-touch take off landing, an altitude hold function that allows for beginners to easily fly the drone, an HD camera, a headless mode that allows for no need in adjusting the position of the drone prior to flying, and 360° flips and stunts.


10. Mophie Powerstation 5X

The Mophie Powerstation 5X is one of the most powerful external batteries ever created by Mophie. Its thin design makes it easy to travel with or simply carry around in your pocket.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
