Everyone loves buying new things. Even things as simple as school supplies can be fun purchases. Here are some of the things everyone loves about buying new things.


1. The anticipation of ordering something online.


There is nothing more thrilling than checking the mail and having something brand new that you were expecting. I don’t know exactly how to explain it but when you find that perfect thing and order it and it finally comes it, I become completely overwhelmed with happiness.

2. Trying on something that looks great.

Not only is it a confident boost to try on something that looks good, it is also fun sprucing up your wardrobe and having something new to go out and show the world.

3. Finding something that you never knew you wanted before you got to the store.

I can’t even tell you how many times I have gone to the store and left with so much more than I even intended. I also know that I am not the only one who does this.

4. Spending hours strolling aisles looking at all of the pretty things to buy.

It is thrilling to me to go to a store that sells everything like Target and get stuck looking in the office supplies. They have so many things that are pretty and seem very useful but have no use to me at all. I could spend hours doing that.

5. Actually owning something new.


This one pretty much explains itself.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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?
