When you're in college, it's inevitable that you're going to end up getting sick. I've provided a list of thing to do to help you get better. You're welcome.

1. Sleep!!!

When sick, literally the best thing you can do for your body is sleep. It helps you fight off the virus and allows you get better faster.

2. Drink water

Hydrating yourself is key. It'll help flush out all the bad (some good as well), but it's also a good way to make sure you don't sweat out all your fluids if you're running a fever.

3. Take medicine

Honestly, if you aren't taking medicine when you're sick, you're just making your odds even worse. If there's one thing you should do when sick, this is it. It will shorten the amount your sick for and will help you feel better during the day.

4. Drink tea

Tea is your BEST FRIEND when sick, especially if you have a sore throat. The heat of the tea will soothe the inflammation and make it easier to talk.

5. COUGH DROPSSS!

Cough drops not only prevent you from coughing, but they also lubricate your throat. If your throat is dry (aka you have a sore throat) cough drops will save the day. Every. Single. Time.

6. Take hot showers

If your sinuses are backed up, and you cannot breathe through your nose, a hot shower will do you some good. It'll clear up the snot.

7. Go outside

Most people don't know this, but going outside is really healthy for you when sick. Not only do you get Vitamin D from the sun, but it also helps clear up your senses. Staying inside all day will surely leave you feeling stuffy.

8. Eat

Even if you don't eat something healthy, you need to eat. Most people when sick don't feel like eating. It's detrimental to your health if you don't. Your body needs sustenance, especially if you're already down.

So there you have it, my dudes. Stay healthy, and as always, go Bulls!

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.
