Confession: What I Am Embarrassed to Tell People I Listen To

I am an avid music lover -- always have been, always will be. That does not mean my music tastes are always the most popular stuff, however. Belting out, "I'll make a man out of yooouuuuuu" (from Mulan, in case you were wondering) with blaring headphones in, on the way to class, does not get me the most attractive looks from people. I know half of you are in the same boat and just do not want to admit it, so I will spare you the pain of having to say it out loud. You can just smile quietly to yourself while reading this article.

Number one misunderstood band of all time: Nickelback. Everyone hates on them. Why? I'm not sure. Those goatees and husky sounding voices are not half bad. I cannot even tell you the amount of times my mom and I have jammed out in the car to "Rockstar" and then the next day pretended like we do not even know who they are. A good friend of mine once asked me to go to their concert (paid ticket and all) and I refused because I "couldn't do it." Who am I even kidding? I have 11 Nickelback songs on my iPod.

Number two is a killer. Having been born in 1994, I had constant exposure as a child to Disney movies, stories, and music as I am sure many my age did. I remember consistently playing my Mulan, Cinderella & Belle CD in order to fall asleep when I was little. That love for silly voices and corny lyrics has carried over into my twenties, as my Pandora station does not change from "Disney Classics." If you ever need a good jogging playlist, whip that out and you are good to go!

High School Musical is probably number three. No, I was not one of those people that practiced the dances, or duplicated Gabriella's outfits in high school. But, oh yeah, did I dance in my seat when the songs came on in the car, or jump up when it was on TV to jokingly act out Troy's scene on the golf course. I cannot sing or dance at all, but it sure looks like I can when the dance moves and lyrics are that terribly choreographed.

The last one is definitely not the least: Celine Dion. No matter what you say, every girl, even if you are "not like other girls," has listened to the Titanic soundtrack and cried like you are in love with a dying man. While none of my guy friends may ever understand the heart and soul that went into that music, many girls reading this will know exactly what I am talking about. We all have looked her up on YouTube just to find the live version of “My Heart Will Go On."

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
