The Importance Of Chewbacca Mom

Candace "Chewbacca Mom" Payne, one of the most recent videos to go viral, has made millions of people laugh. But this video is more than just a hilarious viral video. To some it may just be a video but to me there are some underlying messages that we should all support.

1) Embrace the little joys in life.

Candace bought the Chewbacca mask at Kohl's as part of her "birthday joy." Once she put on that mask and started laughing though, it was clear how pure her joy was. So maybe we should all find the things in life that bring us joy and embrace them.

2. "Treat yo self."

The phrase coined by Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford from "Parks and Rec," this mask is clearly a treat for herself. As said before, Candace purchased it for her "birthday joy." This purchase was definitely her treating herself. Now I'm not saying we should treat ourselves constantly, but every once in awhile, indulge in yourself. You won't regret it... unless you let the treating get out of hand.

3. Don't care what people think.

In the video Candace happily states that she wanted to share the news of her purchase with the people of the internet. Also she noticed people in the parking lot watching her as she filmed the video. But not once did the thought of what people were thinking of her stop her from the excited laugh attack. She did not let the judgement of society hold her back from true happiness.

So be like Chewbacca Mom and embrace the little joys in life, treat yo self, and try to not care what people think. Hopefully we can all be our own versions of "I'm such a happy Chewbacca".

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.
