10 Thoughts We Have As Summer Comes To An End

Shelley Frankel

1. I hope other people watched as much Netflix as I did.

It wasn't my whole summer, just a large chunk of it.

Recommended for you

2. Maybe I should've exercised a bit more.

It's not like I got fat, I just enjoyed myself just enough.

3. I had a tan.. like a day ago.

I SWEAR IT WAS THERE A SECOND AGO.

4. Do I even remember how to study?

Sorry, but what?

5. What am I going to do without my own shower.

Please cherish every last moment of your own privacy, school showers are just.. well.. let's just say, maybe you want to stay at home as long as possible for that reason alone.

6. See ya endless options of food that I didn't have to pay for.

My mom bought any and anything I wanted, and I rarely had to spend a dime... well there goes my cash.

7. I thought I made more money this summer...

I don't have any idea where the money went, honestly...

8. Crap, I hope I have everything I need for school...

Glue, scissors, pencil, I should be good, right?

9. To get a job at school, or to live on pennies?

Self explanatory...

10. I sure did have an awesome summer.

Everyone's summer has a story! Share yours with anyone and everyone, i'm sure it was great; I know mine sure was!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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?
