Hockey season is officially upon us. Many fans will argue that Hockey is the best sport around. It definitely is.

1. It's not hot.

Three hours in a heavily air conditioned arena means no sweating while you're cheering on your team.

2. They fight.

What other sport allows players to hit each other?

3. The games are unpredictable.

Games are super fast paced and you never know what is going to happen.

4. They poke fun at the other team.

At least once a game you'll see a team making fun of their opponents on the jumbo-tron.

5. The fans are crazy.

Where else would you see someone who has decorated a Captain America costume to match their team's colors?

6. The season is longer.

Regular season lasts from October to April, and playoffs run until June.

7. The Players.

* Heart eyes.*

8. Tickets are cheap.

Most of the time you can get a ticket for $15-$20.

9. The rivalries are serious, but also funny.

One day you may hate them cause you're playing them, but the next you'll love them because it's hockey.

10. Their social media accounts poke fun at each other.

If you ever need any entertainment, just google NHL twitter fueds.

11. The Stanley Cup.

The only trophy where the players will eat cereal out of it, and use it to drink beer.

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.
