If you visit Ireland, specifically Dublin, there is one thing everyone does: The Guinness Storehouse tour. It is touristy but definitely something that is worth it. As someone who doesn't love beer, and definitely doesn't love Guinness, I was concerned about going or even liking the tour but it was beyond interesting. I absolutely loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone in Dublin. Here are some tips to having the best possible experience at The Guinness Storehouse!

1. Go early

Even though it doesn't exactly sound super appealing to drink a Guinness first thing in the morning, you'll be happy to walk through the exhibit without a million people around you at all times. This also means less of a waiting time at some of the top attractions within the storehouse.

2. Do the taste testing experience

If you see a line forming outside a neon lit doorway, get in line! This is the Guinness tasting experience, which looks like an event you have to pay for but is actually free! You learn how to fully taste Guinness with a tiny little taster and get to walk into a couple cool rooms.

3. Pour your own perfect pint

Another thing that is free but could seem like a paid event is the pour your own perfect pint experience! You get to learn from the Guinness experts and take a chance at pouring your own glass. At the end, you get a certificate to show your friends and hang on the fridge stating that you are now a Guinness pouring expert!

4. Spend some time on the advertising floor

This fully immersive advertising experience is one of a kind. You are surrounded by a giant, wrap around screen and get to watch some of Guinness' most famous commercials.

5. Enjoy the Gravity Bar

On the top floor of the Guinness Storehouse, you will find the Gravity Bar. Sit, stand and enjoy a panoramic view of Dublin while drinking your pint of Guinness that you poured yourself.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
