11 Reasons To Own A Polaroid Camera
Madison Brazier

Polaroids are fun in the moment cameras that can set aside the regular print off photos anyone can get. Buying film and having to put the photos together yourself makes you appreciate the experience more, so here are some reasons to invest in a Polaroid camera.

1. Making Memories

Your unique camera is always there to document the events of your life, with a one-of-a-kind photo that can never be replicated, so don't lose it!

2. It's Retro

Vintage and retro are so in. Your totes have to be in too, obviously.

3. It's Trendy

Buy the camera to use your phone to take cute trendy Instagram pics of your Polaroid picture, it's the latest trend!

4. Celebrities Do It

And if they do it you have to. I'm sure Kim Kardashian will come out with her own brand soon for you to buy.

5. You're a 90s Child

We were on the tail end of the Polaroid movement and having the chance to bring it back into style is the chance of your lifetime. This is the only thing you will have to look forward too anytime soon, so hop on the bandwagon.

6. To Be Unique

Because you're the leader of trends and nobody's done Polaroids since, like, the 80s.

7. Cute Decor

Time to break out those YouTube DIY's so you can get even more crafty with your adorable photos.

8. Give Presents

They're a novelty and presenting them as little presents to your family members at the holidays or birthdays is a great way to refresh their memories of the good ol' times. Just be prepared to hear the hours long stories about those times.

9. DIY

Everything today is DIY, to save money or for the love of crafting, so why not your own DIY photos?

10. One-of-a-kind

So what it's trendy and tons of people are doing it? No one photo is the same and you picture can never be replicated or copied.

11. It's sooooo easy for travel

On the go for a night out? How about a trip to Europe? It's no lie that a camera is big and clunky, but take it anywhere! It could fit into any small clutch for your excursions.

So go out and get one of these novelty devices today to improve the quality of your relationships, life and overall experiences.

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.
