I've always found that some of my favorite music are from artists that I don't hear much of on mainstream radio stations. Part of the fun of exploring new or old places in the summer are the anthems that accompany the road trip.

1. "Back Again" - Flor

This song will definitely hit you in your nostalgic feels.

2. "Something About You" - Hayden James, ODESZA Remix

This indie-electronic remix is the song to listen to during those midnight adventures out of town.

3. "Ocean Eyes" - Billie Eilish

Because who doesn't connect to a song of adoration featuring lyrics that compare the love interest's eyes to those of the ocean.

4. "Midnight City" - M83

This song may be half a decade old, but the feelings the French band captured of driving through LA at 2 am are never out of touch.

5. "Kids" - MGMT

While we were actually kids when MGMT released their album, Oracular Spectacular, the feel of this song is perfect for Summer Sixteen.

6. "Princess of China" -Coldplay, Rihanna

You can't really go wrong with anything of Coldplay's, remix or not, regardless of the season.

7. "Hope" -Tim Legend, featuring BR/\VE

A sensual and upbeat song of infatuation is always appropriate.

8. "Electrified" -Sam Wills

You'll definitely want to listen to this as you're getting ready to go out.

9. "Hello, Hello" -Mari Ferrari

Mari Ferrari is basically a really cool indie-pop blend of Cascada and Ellie Goulding.

10. "Out of My League"- Fitz and The Tantrums

This song, and all of FTT's albums.

11. "Love Me" -The 1975

Favorite song. Favorite band.

12. "Sleep On The Floor" -The Lumineers

Other favorite song from my tied-for-first favorite band. Pack your bags and listen to this song on your way out of town.

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.
