LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: Oceanier

Gwinnett County Sad Boys in the Building.

The local music scene is so important. Your favorite band had to start somewhere-- every band does. That being said, you should always try to go out and support your local bands if you have the time to do so. They could become the next twenty one pilots, Issues, Pierce The Veil, etc. How cool would it be to tell someone that you were at the first show a band ever played while standing there in the front row of their sold out headlining tour?! That's why local shows are so important and so much fun. Last weekend, I went to Cumming, GA to support my friends in Oceanier. They headlined the holiday show at His Rock Music, a small record store that also hosts shows much like this one on a regular basis. Before the show, I caught up with the boys in Oceanier to talk about playing the Masquerade and how it differs from playing a show like the one they were about to (which only had about 25 people in attendance), what their plans are after the release of their debut EP (which comes out on Christmas, by the way), and a whole lot more. There are also clips of their performance at the end of the video. Check it out, and if you like what you hear, support them by checking them out on their Bandcamp, following them on Twitter, and downloading Constellations, their debut EP, when it releases.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
