Home Means Reno

Well, my second home away from home.

1. You have mountains to look at all day long.

There is something so comforting being surrounded by the mountains. And it is first thing I tell people when they ask what I love about Reno.

2. There are cute coffee shops everywhere you go.

Bibo, Hub Coffee Roasters, The Purple Bean, Homage, and Global Coffee are just a few of the many coffee shops that each offer a unique vibe to customers, and are a contributing factor to why Reno is so great.

3. Tahoe is less than an hour away.


Doesn't matter the time of year, Tahoe is always a good idea. Luckily when you live in Reno it's an easy day trip to take and a nice getaway from reality. Nothing beats killer views, the lake, trees, and mountains.


4. The views that overlook the city are incredible.


There are of course, particular spots that you can go to to overlook the city, but there is the other chance that you may be coming downhill on a road that lets you enjoy view as well--which are the best!

5. You get all four seasons.

All four seasons happen in a year. But with Reno, they could also happen in a day. Everyone who lives in Reno knows how iffy the weather can be, but besides that, it's nice that we get summer, winter, fall, and spring in full effect.

6. The community is greatly involved with UNR.

Whether it's social events or sporting events, Reno community members join in on the fun making the atmosphere a lot more energetic and alive.

7. Midtown is becoming better and better.

Midtown Reno has plans to add a bunch of new additions, but for now it has boutiques, restaurants, and other small businesses that get people out and about to try something new!

8. Majority of the people are down to earth--I dig that.

It is on rare occasion that I ever stumble upon people who seem superficial in Reno, and it is one thing I'm most appreciative of. The people are overall, genuine and I love living in a city full of people who emulate qualities that I admire.

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.

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.
