An Open Letter To Parking Services At Mississippi State evidently shows just how unhappy students are with our parking situation. By no means do I think that Mississippi State has the worst parking situation, but I wouldn't call it the best either. I think everyone can agree that the prices have gotten a little high, the lots are overcrowded, and receiving a ticket on the first day of class is a little out of hand. So, here are 50 things we would rather do than find a parking spot on campus.

1. Get hit by a campus vehicle. (Free tuition?)

2. Scratch my nails on a chalkboard.

3. Only listen to a recording of my nails on a chalkboard for the rest of time.

4. Never eat Bin cheese fries again.

5. Have to eat Fresh Foods for every meal.

6. Delete my Netflix account.

7. Only take cold showers for the rest of my life.

8. Get stopped at every red light on Highway 12.

9. Smash my pinky toe into the wall every time I walk.

10. Buy a $200 book for class and never use it.

11. Punch myself in the face.

12. Listen to Nickelback every day.

13. Brush my teeth with dirt.

14. Or never brush my teeth again?

15. Have a class schedule only consisting of 8 a.ms.

16. Retake Chemistry.

17. Take the ACT again.

18. Never eat another Chick-fil-A nugget.

19. Or queso.

20. Run out of coffee for eternity.

21. Even worse, never drink a PSL again.

22. Never watch "The Office" again.

23. Live without A.C.

24. Have a bad hair day, every day.

25. Longboard to class.

26. Relive high school.

27. Or worse, permanently move back to my hometown.

28. Face the campus clown.

29. Give up my iPhone for a Nokia.

30. Run out of gas in the middle of nowhere.

31. Delete my Amazon Prime account.

32. Give up my Mac for a PC.

33. Forget to bring my cowbell to a football game.

34. Live in Rice Hall for all four years.

35. Sit in the Cookout drive-thru line.

36. Eat burnt bacon.

37. Have Donald Trump's hair.

38. And Hillary's health.

39. Wear ripped contacts.

40. Throw away all of my maroon clothes.

41. Go to Walmart during move-in week.

42. Or go to Walmart...ever.

43. Never shop at Kroger again.

44. Never eat Stromboli's cookie dough bites.

45. Have all Target stores shut down. Forever.

46. Walk to my hometown five hours away.

47. Only have to use MSU1x wi-fi for the rest of my life.

48. Use Carpenter Hall's elevator every single day.

49. Erase Dak Prescott from my memory.

50. Go to Ole Miss.

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.
