Your Guide Through Gov Ball 2016

I’m a huge Gov Ball fan. This year will be my 4th time going to the music festival and I’m as excited as I was the first time I ever went to head back to Randall’s Island. So having been around the block a couple times I’ve picked up a few things here and there about the festival and about how to make the most of the three short days.

Here is what you can expect from the festival:

Amazing Food (and long lines)

Epic music from some of the best artists around including:

Kanye West

The Strokes

The Killers

Death Cab for Cutie

Beck

HAIM

Of Monsters and Men

Robyn

Chet Faker

Chvrches

Two Door Cinema Club

Mike Snow

Jamie XX

Cold War Kids

AND SO MANY MORE (http://governorsballmusicfestival.com/lineup/)

You won’t just find musical artists, but visual artists as well

You'll take some awesome pics that will make for the perfect insta

Expect some EPIC performances

So while you're enjoying the festival, REMEMBER TO:

Drink Water

Take Pictures

Don’t Litter

EAT EVERYTHING ALL DAY

Drink More Water

Take a nap

Laugh

Take More Pictures

Put your phone away and live in the moment

Sing

And Dance

What to Bring:

Sunscreen

Sunglasses

Disposable Camera or Instant Camera

Small Backpack or Fannypack

Phone Charging Case

Blanket to Sit On

Your ID if you wanna drink something ~other than water~

Comfy Shoes

Empty Water Bottle (you can fill it up there)

Flash tats

CASH - You will need lots of cash to buy food and drinks (that, yes, are definitely over priced, but don’t let that stop you!)

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?

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.
