Here are the seven songs that I have been jamming out to since I've been back at school for a week.



1. Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

It is very new (just released on January 6) and it makes me want to dance. It has what might be a marimba that gives it a jazzy beat and the vocals are upbeat and catchy. It's a fun song and would make a great dance party song.


2. Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran

Also recently released, it is a nice chill out song that's about returning to your home after being gone for a long time. He's reminiscing about all the things that he did when he was younger and all the things he misses about the place where he grew up. I like it because it reminds me to remember where I come from no matter where I go.


3. Say You Won't Let Go- James Arthur

This song shows a developing relationship throughout the years from when they were young and when they are married and have kids and until they are "grey and old". It's a very sweet song and is quite beautiful.



4. Love Me Now-John Legend

This song to me is about taking chances because you don't know what is coming so you should make the most of what you have every day.


5. Dancing On My Own-Calum Scott

If you want all the feels check out this song. Its about giving it your best shot and still not being what someone else needs. Its about feeling rejected and alone because of feelings that are not reciprocated.


6. Mercy-Shawn Mendes

To me, this song is about being in love with someone even after it needs to end and asking them to "have mercy" on you and let you go. It's another feels song, so beware.



7. Scars To Your Beautiful- Alessia Clara

This is about the media effect on body image and is a great self love anthem. It's about how the way we talk about people's bodies and our own perceptions of our bodies need to change. That we don't need to change our bodies we need to change our minds.

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.
