Well, as many of you sadly know our talented, determined, hardworking Cleveland Indians lost to the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday evening. As many of you also know, a certain announcer by the name of Joe Buck showed a great deal of bias towards the Cubs throughout the entirety of the series. Similar to the theme of NBA Finals, Cleveland was once again fighting against the world. Joe Buck had a disgusting infatuation with the Cubs and their ever so mediocre player, Kyle Schwarber (seriously, he's not that great). Buck made it very clear that he was not cheering for the Tribe in every way possible. I mean I think anyone could tell you who he was rooting for just by listening to him talk for more than a minute. Every other word out of his mouth was commending the Cubs for making simple routine plays or discussing how long it had been since Chicago brought home a World Series win (it's been a long time for us too, buddy). And while it is a huge deal the Cubs won, I feel as though Cleveland was just tossed aside. I mean what ever happened to cheering for the underdog? Many predicted the Tribe would not even make it past Boston, but they came through and did better than anyone ever imagined. I have never been more proud to be from "The Land" after this past year. Our own Cavaliers brought home an NBA title and the Indians made it to Game 7 of the World Series. The only thing better than that would have been winning the World Series, but I don't think we have much to worry about because things are looking even better for the Tribe's 2017 season. In the words of Cody Allen the Indians "want to get this started again." They're going to come back better than ever, there's no doubt about it. So, after this devastating loss I thought I would tell you a few things to brighten your day, perhaps 50 things better than Joe Buck?

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.
