Know Where To Go In NYC!
Ashlyn Parker

Over Columbus Day weekend, I visited New York City, and it is by far my favorite place to be! It is always so energetic and lively, and you're never going to be bored. Walking between the abnormally tall and architectural buildings really gives you the feel of how it is to live in the city. I toured the city, and saw so many amazing things. Below are five that I highly recommend visiting if you're ever in NY!

1. Central Park

Central Park is the closest to country you're going to get in NYC. Being in the trees, on brick pathways and stone bridges, near fountains makes you feel like you're not even New York. It's beautiful!

2. St. Patrick's Cathedral

Entering St. Patrick's Cathedral took my breath away. The glass windows are so intricately stained and the organ in the back is beautiful. Definitely an amazing place to go, especially if you're Catholic!

3. Times Square

If you are looking for a lot of energy, entertainment, and people, Times Square is the place to be! You are surrounded in bright billboards for things like M&M and Coca-Cola.

4. Rockefeller Center

"Let's go watch the ice-skaters!", my mom said on October 10th. Rockefeller Center has an all-year round skating rink! Along with the very detailed architecture and Christmas lights around the trees, Rockefeller is beautiful.

5. Lenwich Sandwhiches

There are 19 Lenhich Sandwhiches locations in New York City. I had a poppy seed bagel with vegetable cream cheese, and I can tell you that I've never tasted a bagel that fresh before!

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. 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.
