Shark Week hoo ha ha.

Ah yes, my favorite time of the year. The time where I don't have to channel surf for something good to watch. The week where the viewers are never disappointed. The week where everyone enjoys watching documentaries. Discovery Channel rocks for this. Here are the best moments from Shark Week in case you missed it...

1. Katy Perry's shoes.

Katy Perry announced that she made Left Shark inspired shoes on her Instagram on July 23 with a caption of "You didn't ask for this but you're welcome". The flats are on sale for $65 and the sneakers are $149. You're right Katy Perry, thank you for this.

2. One word: Shaq.

I was very entertained while watching Shaq Does Shark Week. Who would have thought Shaquille O'Neal would be afraid of anything? Well, the answer is that he is afraid of sharks. This show was based on getting Shaq comfortable in the water with sharks with the help of Ex-Navy/Marine comedian Rob Riggle. Basically, the whole show was Rob doing crazy stuff to show Shaq that sharks are okay and then Shaq saying "I'm not doing that" until the very end. Tune in to see what happened.

3. All of the manicures.

I just love seeing how creative everyone gets during this time on Facebook and Instagram. All of the shark nails are super cute and perfect for hosting a shark week pool party.

4. Naked and Afraid of Sharks.

Although I am a girly girl who would never be able to do this, I have always had a love for Naked and Afraid. Now, it was even more nerve-wracking to watch as Naked and Afraid of Sharks. Five all-star Naked and Afraid contestants were dropped off in the Bahamas where the bugs on the land didn't want them and where the sharks in the ocean did not want them. My heart was beating out of my chest watching while they were trying to find a place they belonged.

5. Furry friends dressed up as sharks.

The most adorable thing is an animal in a costume. My favorite ones to see dressed up are dogs and pigs on Instagram and Facebook. They're probably so confused as to why they have fins all of a sudden.

6. When they played Jaws.

I will watch this movie all year long but I especially love it during Shark Week. They run it late at night but, I am still glad they play it. What an iconic movie. #throwback

7. When they informed us about shark's prey/ predators.

I love that Discovery not only gives us a lot of information on sharks but, they also give us information on their prey and predators. It was fascinating to learn more about Orcas on Air Jaws: The Hunted.

8. The special treats that are shark themed.

If you make or can get your hands on these, you're lucky. These treats look so good and fun to make. I love seeing them every year. They should've had Cake Boss make an appearance.

9. Sharkwrecked.

Paul de Gelder's Instagram

This was another show that was nerve-wracking to watch. Two veterans, Paul de Gelder and James Glancy, spend almost 48 hours in the ocean trying to research sharks' behavior towards humans that have been shipwrecked. Watch Sharkwrecked online and find out what happened.

10. My biased best part of Shark Week.

On Wednesday, they played an episode of Jaws of the Deep and there was a shark named Emma. Who doesn't love sharing a name with a shark?

I am sad Shark Week is over but, I can't wait to see what the 31st Shark Week holds...

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.

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.
