"Let's Take A NICE Picture"

We've all said it. You're out one night with your friends, feelin' pretty good about your outfit and what not, and all you want is a nice picture. It's definitely not as easy and effortless as we make it look on Instagram, thirty minutes later.

"Let's Take A NICE Picture"

The 38 thoughts that race through your head while trying to take a nice picture:

1. Who should I take a picture with?

2. You'll do. 

3. Who should I ask to take this picture?

4. Is it awkward to ask that girl to take it if I don't want her in it?

5. YOU. COME TAKE THIS PICTURE OF US. 

6. Okay how should we pose???

7. Let's take a nice picture. 

8. Can I get my good side please?

9. Should I put my hand on my hip?

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.

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.
