School is beginning for college students and with it comes blasting music from our dorm rooms for the entire floor to hear. Music is fun for all so why not have an awesome playlist for everyone to enjoy? Here are a list of songs for your ultimate back to school playlist:

1. Closer by the Chainsmokers and Halsey

This song reminds me of summer because my best friends and I would always blast this song and sing it at the top of our lungs. Nothing is better than reminding you of the good times when you're stressed about your first class!

2. House Party by Sam Hunt

It may be country-esque which a lot of people don't enjoy but this song always makes me want to get up and dance!

3. I Love College by Asher Roth

Well, duh.

4. Cake by the Ocean by DNCE

Whether or not you care to admit it, it's impossible to sing this song (and we all know the words because of how overplayed it is).

5. One Dance by Drake

Sometimes we ALL just need a one dance.

4. All Night Longer by Sammy Adams

I can't think of any song more perfect to blast before a night out with your friends!

5. Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake

Got that good song in my feet every time this song comes on!

6. I Took a Pill In Ibiza - SeeB Remix by Mike Posner

This song may be a little bit of a throwback to last year but that doesn't mean it's not great!

7. Mr. Brightside by The Killers

EVERYONE knows all of the words to this. And if you don't, you should really listen to better music.

8. Ride by Twenty-One Pilots

This song is the perfect combination of fast and slow because Twenty-One Pilots is the greatest band ever, honestly.

9. Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind

MAJOR throwback song but it's super fun and everyone does the doodoodoo's when they hear it!

10. Ignition (Remix) by R. Kelly

This song is just so great and catchy, you HAVE to listen to it until you learn all the words!

11. High School Never Ends by Bowling for Soup

Because thankfully for us, High School HAS ended and this song is the perfect reminder!

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
