12 Ways Life Is A Lot Like A Donut
Jenna Leigh Bonner

Life is like a lot of things: a box of chocolate, a camera, a beautiful melody, a mountain, a train wreck. You can pretty much compare anything to life as long as you have enough motivation and creativity. So, let's see how life is like donuts!

1. There are a lot of different types:

You can have chocolate donuts, blueberry cake, jelly filled, etc. Everyone has their own thing that they like and all are so individual!

2. They look good on the outside but are sometimes awful on the inside:

A lot of people seem pretty awesome externally, but are actually fairly horrible. Reguardless of this, we still have to put up with them from time to time without smashing them.


3. Sometimes they're twisted:

Sometimes life gets weird and all mushed together. But, no matter what, we do our best to enjoy it and find some tastiness. Plus, some people prefer things a little twisted.

4. There is a huge whole in the middle:

Something always feels missing from life. Luckily for us, that little bit that gets taken out often becomes something wonderful and delicious all in its own right.

5. You take them whenever they're available, even if its awful:

Sometimes donuts suck (as mentioned above). But even then, we take them and eat them because hey, donuts, man.

6. Some parts are pointless, but enjoyable anyways:

Let's be real, sprinkles serve no purpose. Whatsoever. They add nothing to the donut. However, they look so pretty that just looking at them makes us happy. Things in life don't have to practical or purposeful in order to make us smile.

7. They're best at 2 a.m. with friends:

Donuts are literally always better late at night/early in the morning with friends. Similarly, life is better when you are enjoying life with people you love.

8. We can't prove they exist:

Time to get into a deep existential crisis: you can't prove anything exists outside of your own consciousness (Google "brain in vat" theory). So, we can't prove donuts exist either. That doesn't stop us from chomping in and enjoying a good one though! If you're in a constant existential crisis like me, remember to chill and enjoy life even when it doesn't seem real.

9. They're sweet and bring happiness:

This is self explanatory and true.

10. They eventually end:

This is also self explanatory and true.

11. Coffee makes them better:

Coffee makes life better. Or tea if you're a tea person. Or chocolate milk or something if you're that weirdo who doesn't like coffee or tea. Whatever your drink is, enjoy it with donuts and in life.

12. You eat donuts no matter what:

We will always love donuts. We love the sprinkles and cream and jelly and toppings. We eat them with friends at 2 a.m. and enjoy them even when they low key may not be "real". They make us happy and we enjoy the good moments. That is what life should be like.

Life is a lot like a donut, so enjoy it just the same.

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.
