12 Things To Attend At Fairfield University

All of these things are pretty hard to explain, so you'll just have to take my word for it and experience them yourselves.

1. Class
This one seems pretty obvious, but you'll surprised with the amount of times you'll skip class. My advice is to not do it unless it's necessary. If you're sick or hungover to the point where you're throwing up, than that's a way different story.

2. Class Reviews
Another pretty obvious thing to go to, but sometimes the walk all the way to your class seem really far. I mean who wants to leave their room, friends or bed? Just do it and get it over with.

3. Day Drinks
Point days are the best days for the following reasons: sunshine, beach, alcohol, friends and the memories you'll create (and will most likely forget).

4. Soccer Games
Two reasons: the boys and it's the best sport in the entire world.

5. Fall Concert
It may seem dumb, but it is a freshman right of passage. You get to listen to music and enjoy the evening no matter what state of mind you have. It's a way to meet new people.

6. Presidential Ball
You get to dress up all snazzy and party. It's always fun to go out looking amazing and prez ball is a pretty good excuse to do so.

7. Oktoberfest
Whether it's raining or a beautiful day, Oktoberfest is one of the best events during the year. It's a way to say goodbye to the warm weather and forget about work for the day.

8. Rugby Games
It's a lot of fun to go and support your friends, especially when the team is amazing. It's a chill way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Also, those boys are some of the funniest people you will ever meet.

9. Midnight Madness
This is something you have to experience. That is all I can say.

10. Sham Jam
Point days haven't been held in months because of the winter. This is the perfect time to go to the point during the day and try to welcome the "warm" weather.

11. Around the World
It's basically like going to the beach, but up in the townhouses. It's another one of the best days during the year.

12. Clam Jam
The experience is different each year. If you get to go, then you are incredibly lucky. It's the way we let loose before finals.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
