"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Dr. Martin Luther King

With the recent headlines across the world that very light seems to be heavily dim. But at times moments occur where that light is projected to the masses. In 2014 popular SNL alum Jimmy Fallon made a game changing move with taking the "Tonight Show" back to its New York roots with the Roots as his accompanying band. This past week Fallon has surpassed 500 episodes with his always entertaining, occasionally uplifting, smash hit show.

Laughter is a universal language with the power to make our world's current reality a bit easier to bear. The following are a few of my favorite moments from the "Tonight Show" that can brighten up anyone's day.

"Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing."

This skit was from his debut episode, and who better than the Fresh Prince to help him kick it off?


"Wheel of Musical Impressions with Christina Aguilera."

Christina's impression of Britney Spears should be placed in the Smithsonian or have its own star on the Walk of Fame.


" Lip Sync Battle with Emma Stone."

Thanks to Emma's performance alone this skit now has an entire show dedicated solely to this contest with host LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen.


"Lip Sync Battle with Melissa McCarthy."

Loved that one! Then here's another one. But don't worry there are plenty more to watch!


"Hello w/ Classroom Instruments."

From the look of pure awe on Fallon's face to Adele picking up a toy phone her talent shines so bright throughout this video. It's crazy how effortless this was for her.

"Slow Jam the News with President Obama."

This time next year this country will have a new president *sigh* but his successor won't be able to top this.

"History of Rap 6 with Justin Timberlake."

JT and JFall are the best of friends who both just happen to be incredibly talented. Their history of rap skit has six parts where each installment is somehow better than the previous video. These skits illustrate just a glimpse of their talent and perfect chemistry.

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.
