14 Thoughts College Students Have Watching Dylan Larkin Play
Detroit Red Wings

Dylan Larkin has become a common household name in the homes of Red Wings fans. At the age of 19...yes 19, Larkin has taken Hockeytown by storm and is dominating the ice! The Michigan native, and former University of Michigan player, has commented several times that he always dreamed of playing for the Wings. And many of us never thought that his dream would come true at the very young age of 19. Again, I repeat, he is only 19…the average age of a college sophomore! So here are 14 thoughts that most college students have while watching Larkin on the ice.

1. He's only 19… I am 19 and I can barely get myself to class on a daily basis…he has his life together in the NHL and I can’t even decide what I want to make for dinner tonight.

2. Wow, he is a natural… Why couldn’t I be that good at a sport? My only sports glory is that I scored in my IM game tonight...

3. Why cant I be him? I just want my life together... I don't have to be in the NHL.

4. "LARKIN HAS THE PUCK, I REPEAT LARKIN HAS THE PUCK!" No one looks away, because they're in awe at his skill.

5. OH NO! YOU DO NOT TRY TO HIT LARKIN! HE’S A BABY! KRONWALL BETTER GET THAT GUY!

6. I wonder if he is single... How can I meet him?

7. When he scores, look how happy he is! He is so adorable! Look at that baby face!

8. I want…no NEED a Larkin jersey ASAP... I am texting my mom to add it to my Christmas list.

9. YES! He’s starting again!

10. Is he seriously only 19? I am 19…

11. He is so fun to watch! I look forward to Wings games just to see what he does next...

12. I feel like I know him….

13. I really don’t, but I like to think I do just because we are the same age and I knew of him when he played at U of M!

14. How is he ONLY 19? Imagine how good he will be in the years to come...


Welcome to the Red Wings, Dylan!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.

"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?
