What if life was as simple as just touching a button?

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to control every part of your life? Rewind the bad times, mute the annoying ones and rewind the good ones. Seems like it would be pretty cool and most of the time helpful.

On and Off

You could decide when to wake up and go to sleep with this one button and not have to worry about an alarm or your parents waking up. Maybe you could even use this button to get out of class early. You just hit off and you can get out of class.

Exit

This could also get you out of class. Hit "exit" and you are out of that dreadful two-hour lecture or lab period. Want to get out of the horrible detention class? Just hit exit.

Mute

Oh, if there were a mute button in real life. How great would that be? Don't want to listen to another one of your parents? Mute. Tired of hearing your sister complain that you get everything you want and she doesn't? Mute. Think about all the things you could mute right now.

DVR

Wouldn't it be so cool to be able to save your favorite moments in life? Your favorite concert or your little cousin's first steps you could record and then go back and relive them. It would be nice sometimes to go back in time.

Rewind

Imagine if there was a real rewind button. Anything you ever did regret or want to change you could rewind and redo things. Or, if you wanted to go back just to experience something again, you could.

Fast Forward

With this one simple button, you could get through your hardest times. You could fast forward time slow or click the button a few more times to go faster. It is all up to you but it could change your life.

Pause, Play, Stop

Want to be stuck in the moment literally? Press pause and then when you are ready hit play. Totally over the moment? Hit stop.

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.
