Forbidden Places That We Go To Anyways

The candy aisle we all secretly love.

I think we’ve all experienced this ashamed feeling as we ever so slowly walk away from the produce section and into the candy section of a grocery store. The scenery changes from many healthy people placing green things into bags, to an empty aisle that could have a tumbleweed pass through any minute. We leave our shopping cart behind for fear that someone will hear its shrill screeching from the rusted wheels, and we quickly dash through the aisle, careful not to linger too long in any one particular area or else the other customers, or worse, people you know, see you staring at carefully arranged rows of inviting chocolate bars. Yet despite our plan to not spend a long time in this forbidden zone, the vast amount of choices are so daunting, that they need careful consideration. So we grab a few things that we like, stroll back to our cart, and wander away to a less crowded area where we can analyze our findings while partially peering over our shoulder just to make sure no one saw us leaving that deserted aisle.

Today, thousands if not millions of us have this problem. We are all ashamed to admit that we’re human! We don’t always want what's good for us, sometimes we want the bad things (like Trump). We want those late night movie snacks that melt in our mouths, not those strange looking green monsters they call kale chips. After eating celery for so long because everyone thought it helps you lose weight (it doesn’t!), the time has come to have some chocolate from that forbidden aisle. Because while incorrect facts such as “celery helps you lose weight” propagate, everyone seems to forget the truth that chocolate does make people happy. That is hard science everyone and if you don’t believe me, well then, ask the know-it-all Google and he’ll tell ya. So put down that green drink filled with three vegetables you know, one you don’t, and antioxidants that you think are good but actually don't know what the hell they are, and instead pick up a chocolate bar.

Be happy folks!

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.
