University of Nevada, Las Vegas is home of the running rebels. It is located in one of the most diverse cities! I'm sure you would've never guessed that one before. However, as glamorous as it may seem to you, there are just some things you would only understand if you actually have gone to UNLV.

1. The parking officers have no mercy.

2. Do you even go to UNLV if you've never had a parking ticket?

3. The student union is actually greek row.

4. Where does The Facebook President of The World actually live?

5. You can't walk by the free speech area without feeling like you have to take all the flyers that are handed to you.

Even though you throw them all in the trash as soon as you walk away.

6. You also can't walk by the free speech area without getting yelled at by one of those guys with the Jesus signs.

Why do they tell everyone they're going to hell?

7. Wine class on Sunday. Yes, that is a class most people look forward to.

8. The top of the Tropicana Parking Garage is not just a place to park cars.

9. You get a lot of free stuff like Canes, concert tickets, foam parties, and even a chance to pet goats?

Glad to know where our tuition is going.

10. The majority of you drive at least 30 minutes to get to campus.

So technically, you have an excuse as to why you're always late.

11. Surrendering your Wednesday (or any other weekday) to go to the club, even though you have a morning class is a common decision.

12. Alcohol, drugs, and bums on campus. You name it, we've seen it.

None of this comes as a shocker to us. I mean after all, we are from UNLV.

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.
