There’s no man who can keep a secret as well as Frank Ocean. For years, fans have been eagerly waiting and watching for any sign of the artist. Now fans finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel, as Ocean revealed a piece of the puzzle with the release of his contemplative visual album Endless.

Ocean released Endless as a teaser for his new album, but the two projects are entirely separate, according to Rolling Stone. There’s no doubt that Ocean has something brilliant in the works, and at least fans can have a taste of the magic while they continue waiting for the long overdue follow-up to Channel Orange.

Channel Orange shook the musical world with its release in 2012, and since then, fans have been waiting anxiously for his next move. Orange’s silky smooth vocals and carefully crafted lyrics made their mark on the R&B world, and there’s no doubt that his next project will do the same.

While it’s true that Rome wasn’t built in a day, the album is now over a year past due, leaving fans wondering, “so what gives, Frank?” Ocean’s mysterious hints continue to stir up a conversation. Tentative cover art for the new album has surfaced, but fans are still waiting for the music that Chance the Rapper deemed “a masterpiece.” In July, Ocean released a teaser graphic in the form of a library due date slip. The slip was marked with random dates, any of which could have been the release date of the album.

Not only is the release date extremely vague, but the name of the album is also up for debate. While originally expected to be called “Boy’s Don’t Cry,” Ocean has duped fans, yet again. As confirmed by Rolling Stone in their interview with the artist, he has scrapped the original title, and will supposedly be releasing his new album this weekend on iTunes. The title is anyone’s guess, but there’s no doubt that the album will be a hit.

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.

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.
