Really, you won't regret it.

Why Everyone Should Do An Escape Room Experience

1.It’s a lot of fun

This one might seem pretty obvious but it's true! An escape room experience should be, and will be, a lot of fun. It requires using common sense, as well as, thinking outside of the box. Having the time constraint really makes you work harder and induces a level of panicky-fun anxiety.

2.It’s a great team building exercise

This will show you who is the “group leader” and who is the “follower” of the group. It may come as a bit of a shock when multiple leaders emerge at once, just go with it. This experience will allow everyone to work together and try to reach one common goal.

3.It will lead to jokes you can crack for months, even years to come.

Maybe your group will get stuck with some random people that weren’t quite what you were expecting. Maybe your own group members will pull some weird stuff that will make you utterly confused. The things that are said and done under a time constraint can lead to some doubling over in laughter stories when you see that group again.

4.It’s something different to do on a weekend that doesn’t involve either partying or sitting at home.

It may not come as a shock that every weekend rolls around and the options are go out to a party, or sit at home and watch movies. Not many people want to do much else. This is a nice change of pace and will allow you to have good clean fun.

5.It will lead to a good, long lasting memory.

No matter if you “escape” or not, the experience will always be one you look back upon. It will be something to laugh and boast about, or laugh and not be too proud of. Nevertheless, you will laugh at your memories often, and remember the experience forever.

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.
