Have you ever thought what it would be like to marry a total stranger? Have you ever considered the fact that you could perhaps find true love in doing so? FYI has an extremely controversial social experimental show that follows six brave singles yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree to get legally married to a complete stranger the moment they first meet. After extensive interviews, questionnaires and house visits, three experts create what they believe are three perfect couples, based on scientific match-making. The couples will not meet until they walk down the aisle and see each other face-to-face, for the first time, at the altar. Over the course of several weeks, episodes capture each couple’s journey as they go from wedding, to honeymoon, to early nesting, to the daily struggle of working on their marriage. After six weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together or decide to divorce?

The show "Married At First Sight" is one of my favorite shows. My family and I have watched it from the very beginning and I can see honestly say there is never a dull moment. I highly recommend the reality TV show to any hopeless romantics, anyone looking for a show that questions societal norms and to viewers who enjoy watching shows like "Say Yes To The Dress" and "The Bachelor/Bachelorette." The show is currently on their fourth season but the other seasons are available online for viewing. This season is unlike the others as Dr. Pepper has brought with her two new experts in hopes of having more successful marriages. And although the show hasn’t had much success in marriages the previous three seasons, there are two examples that the social experiment can be successful. Jaime and Doug as well as Jason and Cortney are two couples from season one who have been happily married since 2014. Their relationships weren't perfect and they faced many hardships, but have overcome them. You can catch up on their progress in their tv series "Married At First Sight: The First Year." So give it a try, you might end up liking it.

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.
