10 Times Ellen DeGeneres Cracked Herself Up
Rachel McGrath

Anyone who has watched her show knows that Ellen DeGeneres is unparalleled in humor, generosity and overall positivity. It is no surprise that she is so popular because she makes people feel good about themselves for 60 straight minutes. She makes millions of people laugh every day--from her pranks on celebrities to her quick-witted jokes, it’s impossible not to smile when watching her. Here are some of the (many) times she couldn’t handle her own jokes and laughed hysterically until tears started streaming down her face.

1. Ellen tries to put gloves on in 20 seconds, but things don't go quite according to plan.

2. A young magician has Ellen laughing so hard that she tears up with his "dumbfounding" magic tricks.

3. Ellen tries to keep it together as she gives tips for Thanksgiving table seating.

4. During her 12 Days of Giveaways, one of Ellen's elves had a bit of trouble rolling out a TV.

5. When Ellen had Sofia Vergara on her show, they decided they would give Sofia a makeover...let's just say things took a turn for the hilarious.

6. Ellen decided to surprise Powerball ticket holders with a chance to win a trip to one of her 12 Days of Giveaways.

7. When Ellen sends an audience member undercover as a Starbucks drive-thru employee, one customer's responses in particular have Ellen cracking up.

8. Ellen decides that it's time for Andy Zenor, one of her producers, to get a flu shot on her show.

9. A Starbucks employee agreed to wear an earpiece and repeat everything Ellen said...well, everything she thought Ellen said.

10. Ellen's game 'Know or Go' proves that people will come up with the funniest wrong answers when facing their fear of heights.

In the words of Ellen, be kind to one another!

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.
