Look Up at The Stars

Take a break from your life and experience some exciting night sky events.

Look Up at The Stars
hutui6.com

This month there's going to be plenty to look at in the night’s sky. On November 5th you will be able to see Mars next to the moon. On November 11th there will be a meteor shower, followed by a super-duper moon on November 14th along with many other things (see linked article to learn more about these events). Its fairly rare to have so many things happening in such a short time span so all of you out there who are looking for something to do, look no further than the stars.

This could be your chance to bond with some friends, take that special someone out on a date, or even kick back with a beer and just gaze up at the vastness of the universe. Too often we forget to see the bigger picture in that we are just human beings on a not so big rock starring in the epic roles of our own small lives. Its time to break out of our habits, if not just for a night, and let another star shine (pun intended). You never know, you could end up liking looking up there and maybe turn it into your hobby. Perhaps you're an artist and you’ll get inspired or a writer who writes about what's beyond the stars. Or maybe you’re just some stressed out college student like me, who believes that maybe, if I think about what is out there, and just how big and beautiful it is, I can not only cope with my small, everyday stressors, but also find the beauty in the life I lead. So checkout whats going on this month, take a look up at the sky as you’re walking home, or simply search the sky for constellations. You don’t want to miss out, so you better start now!

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
