According to our favorite baby boomers, millennials are destroying everything precious in the world. In all honesty, did we even need these things to survive from the beginning?

1. Home-ownership

I can barely afford the apartment I'm living in just like thousands of twenty-somethings out there. I'm already in debt because of my student loans. How am I supposed to buy a house? I'll just wait until I'm married... but apparently, we're killing marriage too.

2. Marriage

That's right. We're killing marriage. It's important for me to finish the things I've committed to before picking up a new task. How's that hobby you started a month ago, but ended up getting distracted by at least three more hobbies? Yeah, let me finish my schooling, get a decent job, and settle down a little bit before I mix up my whole life.

3. Chain restaurants

Who wants greasy food anyways? Give me something homegrown and local. I don't want any of your deep-fried wings no matter how good they are.

4. Cable TV

Why do I need it when I have Netflix and Hulu? Not to mention those are only two on demand sites for TV shows and movies. I could honestly even ditch those for a sketchy website that has terrible quality and will give me a virus all for free.

5. Vacations

I'm too busy watching my cable in my brand new house with my spouse after getting home from dinner at our favorite chain restaurant to go on vacation.

6. Napkins

That's what reusable towels are for. Or, you could just, I don't know... wash your hands?

7. Lunch

It's all about brunch now. I don't have time to wake up early in the morning to get breakfast only to eat a few hours later. I'll let my body wake up first and figure out when it's hungry, which is neither during breakfast or lunch.

8. Fabric Softener

It's only purpose is to make my clothes soft. There are hundreds of DIY fabric softener recipes out there on the internet, and trust me, they work. I'm not gonna waste my money on something when I can make it and reuse it for cheaper.

9. Beer

We like wine and weed, what can I say.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
