2014: A Review | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Oh 2014, what a year you were. Kim K. was busy breaking the internet, Taylor Swift was shaking it off, everyone was taking selfies, and pizza was winning over everyone's heart. Here are 14 things that made their claim to fame over this past year. 

1. Quizzes. Buzzfeed created a new trend, a monster perhaps. Quizzes tell us where we should live, who we'd be in our favorite series, and what type of food we are. 

2. Selfies. Sure, they didn't start in 2014 but the star-studded Oscar selfie sent 2014 in the right direction. 

3. Netflix. Everyone was binge-watching something this year or buying t-shirts proclaiming that they were in a relationship with Netflix.

4. Basic Bitches. Pumpkin spice lattes, leggings, infinity scarves, plaid and uggs.

5. The Butt. My anaconda don't understand why the butt is back, but it is. Thank you J-Lo, Iggy, and Nikki. 

6. Taylor Swift. You want to hate her, but you know that you catch yourself singing "Shake it Off" and "Blank Space." 

7. Tattoos. Whether it be a sugar skull, an arrow, or an infinity sign...tattoos are definitely in. 

8. Frozen. Good lord, let it go already.

9. Instagram. Take 20 pictures to get the right lighting, then spend 30 minutes editing and finding the perfect filter. 

10. Lip-syncing in Cars. Why is that so popular?

11. Pizza. From Buzzfeed's "What Kind of Pizza Addict Are You" quiz to Miley Cyrus getting a tattoo of pizza on her finger... it is safe to say that Pizza is the new craze.

12. Healthy Lifestyles. I'm sure people were always in to being healthy, but this year everyone blogged and posted it to Instagram.

13. Cats. I don't get it... they're an animal that poops in a box.

14. List Articles. Guilty as charged.

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.
