Let's be honest, fidgeting can be extremely distracting and flat out annoying.


There is no denying it. The person next to you who has been clicking their pen for an hour straight or literally shaking the couch with their self-diagnosed restless leg syndrome is hard to ignore. If watching or listening to someone fidget is too much for you to handle, just think about how annoying and distracting the need to fidget is for them.

Those of you who struggle with ADHD or simply the inability to sit still know better than anyone that the inability to focus comes with the need to fidget...and it SUCKS. So, I can imagine, having people constantly telling you to stop the one behavior that allows you to focus and/or chill out only makes the whole thing even more frustrating.

Fidget spinners prove that fidgeting doesn't have to be a bad thing.

According to many recent studies, including a study published by psychopathology and behavioral science pro Dr. Mark Rapport, people with ADHD need to fidget a bit in order to perform to their full potential. It helps them to have something to put all of their restless energy into.

Not only do fidget spinners allow for this, but they allow for it in a subtle, non-distracting way. The toys are fun and helpful enough to keep fidgeters entertained and on task, yet subtle enough to keep those surrounding the fidgeter unbothered.

FidgetAway.com is soon to supply these toys and become any fidgeters new best friend.

The website FidgetAway.com is launching soon to supply these spinners to frustrated fidgeters everywhere. The helpful and popular gadgets are small enough to take practically anywhere, including classes, exams, and work. As a plus, they're not only for those who struggle with attention problems.

Fidget Away's founder makes a point to share that the invention seems to be helping people with all sorts of struggles. For example, similar to how they allow those with ADHD to focus their energy, the spinners also allow counselees to focus on the spinner rather than the difficult subjects at hand during their counseling sessions. It seems like new uses and benefits keep being discovered!

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.

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.
