Thanks for always being the support I need.

To Dry Shampoo, A Love Letter
Holly Barnett

When you're in college you really start to get a sense of who you are. You go through struggles and hardships that really shape who you are as a person. You meet friends that will be with you forever and memories that will last a lifetime (wow is that cheddar or mozzarella because it's getting cheesy). And for some people, they meet the love of their life. And ladies and gentleman we can all say that it's dry shampoo.

First and foremost, if you don't own dry shampoo, go to Target right now and get some. It is the best thing that has ever happened to this world. Forget sliced bread, we are talking clean hair, people!!!

Dear Dry Shampoo,

Without you, I would not be presentable. Not only do I look homeless on a day-to-day basis but without you, I would look homeless with oily hair. People would look at me funny but since others opinions don't matter, I would walk around campus with oily hair.

Showers are hard sometimes. You get home, you are tired and hungry, you want to watch Netflix and go to bed but wait — you can't, because your hair is oily. And that is where you, my friend, save the day.

Thank you for letting me go to sleep early some days. Whenever I have an occasion to attend, you are there for me when I oversleep my alarm and miss shower time.

You are there when I need to add volume to my hair. You are there at my lowest times, and you help pull me up. I honestly don't know what you are made of, but I know it's God's powder that he blessed this Earth with so we could be decently presentable.

You never fail me. You are always there. I love you, dry shampoo. An Oscar, Grammy, and Tony to you, my friend.

See you soon (tomorrow morning),

A struggling college student

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.
