Podcasts are in their prime with an abundance of excellent content out there for your ears to enjoy. Although there are an insane amount of awesome podcasts out there, these are my three personal favorites that I listened to during 2018.

If you're in need of a new podcast or want to start to get into podcasts, these three are a great place to start:

1. "Armchair Expert" with Dax Shepard (and Monica Padman!)

Raise your hand if you're an Armcherry! "Armchair Expert" is a somewhat new and hot-on-the-scene Podcast hosted by the one and only Dax Shepard and boy-loving Monica Padman. Dax and Monica interview celebrities, experts, writers and more. However, this isn't just any old interview Podcast. Every episode provides enlightening life lessons, reflective insights, and lots of laughs. If you're into well-rounded conversations with high-quality individuals, you'll love this one!

2. "Death, Sex, and Money" with Anna Sale

There are some topics that everyone experiences that don't often get discussed just because they're not "polite." Well, Anna Sale doesn't care and busts open the conversation about things that should be talked about more. Each episode of this podcast is a deep dive into a topic that deserves discourse. The team's ability to bring out the human side of big questions and tough topics makes this podcast unique and captivating. From sex workers to student loans, DSM covers it all.

3. "Serial" - Season 3

"Serial" was wildly successful in its first season about the Adnan Syed case and was many people's first foray into podcasts. Season 3 of "Serial" was released earlier this year, and it is a seriously riveting season. Instead of just focusing on one major case, this season spent a year studying the happenings in the criminal justice system in Cleveland, Ohio. If this season of "Serial" doesn't make you realize that the U.S. is in some serious need of justice system reform, then I don't understand

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.

"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?
