One of life's greatest joys is being able to indulge in things that have no consequence on your actual daily life whatsoever. I mean, why do you think people love television, movies and video games so much? They're literally designed to get us to care about anything outside of our own lives. Whether you're needing an escape because you're tired of your boring life or to avoid the impending doom looming in your future that hasn't taken a shape but constantly threatens to consume you, here's some stuff that is easier to think about than your real life problems.

1. What is Shia LaBeouf doing these days?


I mean, first he pulled the infamous "I Am Not Famous Anymore" thing; then he became one of today's greatest inspirations, encouraging us all to follow our dreams and "just do it." But like. What's he doing now? What do we have to look forward to? Probably best to check that out and keep your friends and family updated.

2. Did Bubba Sparxxx ever make any more music?


Everyone remembers the iconic track "Ms. New Booty." I mean, how could you forget? Mr. Sparxxx literally gives you the only three pieces of advice you could ever need, and repeats them enough times that there's no possible way to forget to get it ripe, get it right, get it tight. But whatever happened after Ms. New Booty wasn't so new anymore? Where did he go? Why hasn't he blessed up with more iconic songs about butts? Now is literally the best possible time for that! Someone please figure this out and get it back to me.

3. How much Jello is too much Jello?


This one is super extra fun because you actually get to decide! Just start making Jello! Fill every container in your house with it until there is simply no more room or you get tired or your landlord evicts you! Either way, you'll get an answer eventually.

4. Do you still know all the words to They Might Be Giants' "Why Does the Sun Shine?"


Remember how many times you had to sing that during sixth grade camp? Remember how often you'd find yourself just humming it subconsciously for weeks after? Remember all those times you woke up halfway through the second chorus because you'd been singing it in your sleep? Well, how much of it do you still remember? Figure it out and impress your friends, family, and coworkers! They'll definitely thank you!

5. Is there a Twitter dedicated exclusively to sharing pictures of famous people with a single tiny hand?


Yes. I'm just gonna go ahead and answer this one for you because God knows now that you know this exists, you aren't going to want to spend any more time reading this blurb to convince you that you need to see it.

6. What happened to that kid you had a crush on in third grade?

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a pretty big fan of Mark Zuckerberg. (Unironically, by the way. When I found out he and Priscilla were expecting, I actually cried tears of joy. Leave me alone.) Even if I wasn't, I think I would still appreciate what Facebook allows us to do. Even though I hadn't spoken to my dear Kevin since we stopped emailing each other when we were 10, I can still type in his name and find out what he's up to. And a lot of other stuff I didn't really need to know. Point is, check out your old crush. Then you can a) reconnect, b) wallow in self pity because they got so friggin' hot or c) rejoice because you're the hot one.

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.
