Throughout life, one can find that they are collecting items, either directly or indirectly. I believe that collecting things relieves stress and makes you feel organized. Also, it is a great conversation starter! Collecting is a pretty cool and brings some interesting aspects into one's life. Below are 11 things that would be awesome to collect- some of them I have collections of and others are ideas. I hope they make you happy, which is the ultimate goal!

1. Snow globes

Though they bring some concern on my trips because I don't want them to break, but they're so fun! Snow globes highlight your adventurous side and are trackers for the different places on has gone to. My collection is based on travel, but you can collect them for pop-culture or if you like the design!

2. Gems or crystals

Gems or crystals are my favorite things to collect. They range from inexpensive to expensive, smooth to rough, and small to large. The best part is that there are so many crystals available so every buy will be one of a kind! These rocks are great for bringing good vibes to my life!

3. Deck of cards

I don't collect cards but the options are endless! You can get them from different cities/countries, places of interest, or even some local stores. They're fun to look at and even play with!

4. Coffee mugs

Coffee lovers unite! Collecting mugs brings the best of both worlds: drinking coffee and admiring good design.

5. Rubber ducks

Just because they're funny!

6. Shot glasses

You don't have to be 21 or older to collect shot glasses, my friends! Glasses can detail different places you've been to or be very funny.

7. Movie tickets

Something movie lovers can collect! Save the memories of all the movies you've been to (and all that money you spent, too)! You can make fun projects out of them like garlands or frames.

8. Vinyl records

This can be a little pricey, but it's worth it! A record player is needed unless you just like the album art, which is totally fine. Vinyls are perfect for music lovers and people who like a blast from the past. Current artists are pricier, but there are some great finds at vintage shops and thrift stores.

9. Coins or currency

Like snow globes, coins are something you can collect that shows how much of a traveler you are! They can be found anywhere- at thrift stores, souvenir shops, or even the ground! There are copious amounts of ways to sort them and you can never have all of them.

10. Sand and seashells

There are so many types of seashells, making it fun for anyone! The colors and designs can bring a lot of joy to the collector and will brighten up the room. You can even collect sand, too. Put the seashells you found from the beach on the sand and have them in separate containers!

11. Items revolving around pop culture

Pop! Funko characters are just one example of collecting pop culture items. I collect these because I love books, TV shows, and movies and I can get my favorite characters and show them off! In addition, one can collect things revolving around specific bands or artists as well as other types (books, movies, celebrities, etc.).

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.
