Emma Watson is an absolutely amazing person. Not only has she been my idol since her days in Harry Potter, she has blossomed into one of the most influential young celebrities of our time.

She showed us being nerdy was cool

Let’s be real, school is not always the most fun. Kids are mean. Teachers can be rude and life is generally unpleasant. Emma Watson was the friend that all of us needed during this stressful time. She brought Hermione Granger into all of our hearts. She made being intelligent something to strive for. She showed us to not stress about what we look like or who we are supposed to impress. Emma Watson during this time also embodied the ideals of Hermione. She wasn’t afraid to be different. She took the smart route in young Hollywood. She avoided going out and partying too much. She stuck with her family and close friends and became the incredible adult we know her as today.

Emma went back to school.

She had her career set before she even hit 13 years old. She was completely set. Even though she could have gotten almost any part she wanted and she chose to get an education. Not only did she go back to school, she went to Brown University. Brown University is one of the most well-respected, prestigious schools in the country. She wanted to learn and had a thirst for education even after all the success she had already in life. If Emma Watson can go to college SO CAN WE GUYS!!

She has become the face of the HeForShe equality campaign.

Emma has always made her views on feminism clear. She presented in front of the United Nations to help bring awareness to gender equality. Her goal in life is to spread the true meaning of the word feminism: gender equality. She spoke to both men and women about how it is okay to reject gender roles that our society has put upon us. Emma wants to educate people on why supporting the feminist movement. Focusing her energy on closing the gender wage gap and making sure everyone feels comfortable enough to be themselves at the young age of 25 is so inspirational.

She is STILL down to earth.

After all of the things Emma Watson has done, she still remains to be one of the most down to earth, relatable celebrities of our time period. She is hilarious in all of her interviews, making self-deprecating jokes that show she is a regular person just like us. She has become the voice of young people everywhere because most people support all of her views. She uses that voice to speak for those who can and lend a hand in making a change in the world. Emma Watson has already shown everyone what she is capable of. Being so young, her generation is her generation. If she can do it, so can all of us.

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?
