Dear Stageless,

What a week last week was. Two days, three shows, hours and months of work. The adrenaline crash is truly real. I can't help but admit that though satisfying as it is to perform and show off everything you had been working on for months, this is my least favorite part of the Spring Semester. This is the part when spending 3-4 nights a week singing and dancing with some of the funniest people I have ever met comes to an end.

This is the part where, technically, you now are free Monday, Tuesday, Thursday nights and sometimes Saturday afternoon. This is the part when the semester starts to come down. As much as it is a relief that summer grows closer and closer each day, this is the part when it hits you. In nearly a month...yes, the weather will be warmer. Yes, I will be home in California. And yes, classes will be over. But with the end of the semester comes the inevitable moving on of those who I've had the privilege of getting to know the last few years.

We move closer to saying bye to people that most definitely changed my life for better. People that I may be too nervous or anxious to talk to, or people that could not make me stop laughing even if they tried. People that took my obnoxiously loud laugh and still kept me around. People that led to even more friendships that I hope will last. Despite being a communications major, I'm not very good with words, so telling you any of this in person is pretty hard, but alas my admiration for you guys is bigger than you think.

To everyone in Stageless (especially the seniors), thank you for your friendship, and for this show. What started as a class assignment turned into the tribute I only wish I could say to all of your beautiful faces. And even with our incredible professionalism this weekend, Stageless would be nothing without our Shenanigans.

Love,

The girl probably pointing a camera at you, so just act natural.

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

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.
