The 1980's was a decade with the BIG hair, arcade games, shoulder pads, huge hoop earrings, bandanas, neon everything, scrunchies, side ponies, penny loafers, leather bomber jackets, jelly bracelets and acid wash jeans. It never mattered how crazy the fashion because the music of the 80s was some of the best of all time. My fellow Ohio University Odyssey writer and best friend Olivia love the 80s. Even though we missed the whole decade, its hard not to love them. Which is why you need to love these 40 songs in order to be our best friend.

"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.

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.

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.

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
