Five Items You Actually Need In Your Bag When You Go Out

1. Toilet paper

Whether you are at a fraternity house, the bar or out in nature, you never know when you are going to need it. Toilet paper should be an essential part of your going out bag because you don't want to be caught in a sticky situation.

2. Band-Aids

Face it, we all have rough nights. Having Band-Aids can help seal up that bloody knee or cover up that blister from your heels and get you back out there. No matter what, Band-Aids should always be packed, you never know whose going to need one!

3. Snacks


We all get a little hungry when out, so why not keep the hanger at bay by packing yourself a little midnight snack? Your body might even thank you for it! (Or hate you for it.) Don't be ashamed pack that snack! You might even make friends with fellow hungry bar-goers.

4. Disposable Camera

Who said these had to be left in the 90's? Disposable cameras always come out with the best (or worst) pictures. Half of the fun is in the surprise when you pick up the pictures and see how well they turned out! This will also keep you from spending half your night redoing the same picture over and over again. So, go out and spend five dollars on that little yellow camera, it might even be your new thing.

5. Phone Charger

This should always be an essential no matter what. Don't be afraid to be that person charging their phone at the bar or party, everyone will secretly regret that they didn't being theirs. Not to mention if you don't end up going home that night you know your phone will be charged to call for a ride!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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?

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
