Hard to believe it, but 2016 is finally coming to a close..and I couldn't be happier. This year was a rough one not just for me personally, but for a large majority of the human population. 2016 marks the year when the British shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union. On July 7, five police officers were shot dead in Dallas and a week later the Islamic State took credit for a terrorist attack on France’s Bastille Day that resulted in numerous deaths in Nice. Before this even had a chance to leave our news channels, there was an attempted coup d’état in Turkey. It seemed that every time we turned on the TV or checked the news, we were hit with more violence and deaths than ever before. Not to mention the political uproar that has arisen from our most recent presidential election, which has resulted in even more division and anger among our nation. While it may not beat the year of the Black Death in 1348 or 1943 at the height of the Holocaust, 2016 definitely makes it high on the list as a bad year in history.

These 10 tweets perfectly sum up just how shitty 2016 has been.























All I can say is goodbye 2016; you will not be missed.

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.
