1. The Team Captain

They try their best to organize everything and everyone to form a plan, even though no one is listening and it never takes off. To be honest, they probably nominated themselves.

2. The Warrior

They declare themselves as a soldier at war, risking their life to get the flag at all possible costs. These people are confident in every battle, even if they don't amount to anything.

3. The Guards

These players stand and walk along the line like the castle guards in "The Wizard of Oz". Their job is simple. They prevent the southerners from escaping to the north. They get the most satisfaction when they throw someone in jail.

4. The Warren

Not to be confused with the guards, these players prevent people from breaking into jail to save their friends. They think they're high and mighty, but they just stand in front of the ring for most of the game.

5. The Prison Breakers

These heroes try desperately to get their team members back from jail. They are victorious when they succeed, but most of the time they end up entrapping themselves.

6. The Voluntary Prisoner

This is the introvert that goes into the opponents' field just to go to jail. They know no one will save them, and it’s a comfort to them because they didn't want to play in the first place.

7. The Wallflowers

We've all been this person once. These players run around and try to blend with the crowd so it looks like they’re playing, but we all know what they're doing.

8. The Decoy

I got the flag! I got the flag! No, I don’t.

9. The Coach

No one can forget about the teacher or PTA that observes everything from afar. Some of them laugh their butt off. Others don't pay attention at all.

10. The Hero

This is it. They've made it through Hell and back. This victor captured the flag. The winner gets nothing. Now it's time for 6th hour.

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.
