When one hears the word "raccoon" the first thing that comes to mind is usually something along the lines of: "Get that thing out of here!" or "Why is that pest here?!" Unlike the majority, there are few who believe that raccoons are pretty much the best animals out there. In the following list, I will lay out why everyone should have a pet raccoon.

In today's day and age, people want some kind of companion to greet you at your front door when you get home from a long day of classes or work. Most people would go straight for a cat or a dog. I am not saying that cats and dogs are bad choices, but for anyone who wants to be super cool and ahead of the time and all your friends, a raccoon is definitely the pet for you.

1. First, look how cute this baby raccoon is!

2. This little guy is just trying to get some nutrients.

3. Just, c'mon, they just want to make friends.

4. Look at how freakin' cute this is.

5. He just wants to take a nap.

6. This baby even wants to be a raccoon.

7. ... MARIO! Mario even wants to be a raccoon.


Like, c'mon, you can't disagree with Mario.

8. You can even take them for car rides.

9. Or maybe go on a nice bike ride.

10. Look at the endless hours of summer fun you can have with your raccoon.

11. You could be just like Pocahontas.

12. They know how to take care of others, which is always a plus in a pet.

13. They are ticklish and playful: also a big plus.

14. You can even cuddle up in a blanket together.


15. And finally, look at your potential pet playing with all his friends.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
