Award season marks the time for the crossover of fashion, television, music, and movies, with the buzz being everything from who wore what to who won what award. The Golden Globes sparked plenty of conversation this year, with surprising wins, inspiring speeches, and budding stars.

Overshadowing the heavily glorified "A Star Is Born," "Bohemian Rhapsody" was, in fact, the star that shined at the Globes. The film itself snagged the win for Best Drama Motion Picture, and its lead actor Rami Malek won for Best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture. Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May joined the cast at the award show, clearly proud of the movie that strived to be both a biography and celebration of the band and it's lead singer's life.

Sandra Oh joined Andy Samberg to host the night's events, with Sandra proceeding to walk away not just with the pride of having been a good hostess, but a golden statue for herself. Her win in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama, was for her performance in "Killing Eve," and during her acceptance speech her parents were shown in the audience, proud and overcome with joy.

Regina King's win for her performance in "If Beale Street Could Talk" evoked much excitement in the room, and her acceptance speech evoked support among viewers nationwide. Addressing gender inequalities in her speech, King promised, "In the next two years, everything that I produce and I am making a vow, and it's going to be tough to make sure that everything that I produce, that it's fifty percent women." During the speech and afterward, Twitter became a place of praise for King and her promise.

As for Lady Gaga, whose presence at the Globes was more than buzzed about, she still went home with an award for Best Original Song-Motion Picture, for her work on the hit song "Shallow."

The Golden Globes mark the beginning to award show season. The SAG Awards, Grammys, and Oscars are yet to follow, and one can bet that following them will be much more controversy and commotion.

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?
