Post-graduation life has me ready to start working, and as I'm waiting on my start date, I'm not used to having this incredible amount of free time. Cue: Netflix. Instead of re-binging "the Office", "Parks and Rec", or "Friends" for like the fifth time in 2018, I decided to give a new show a try - and proceeded to binge in under 2 days. A total of two seasons - 14 episodes - 20 minutes each will still keep you wanting more.

Admittedly, season one, in my opinion, is funnier than the second season, but I'll still be the first to watch if there will be a season three.

1. Rupert Grint

Because when was the last time you saw Ron Weasley act in something? In this dark comedy, Grint portrays a character who - despite not being the most ethical person - the audience is still rooting for. (Or at least I was)

2. Quirky, dark sense of humor

The first episode quickly goes from a misdiagnosed terminal illness to accidental murder... within 20 minutes. But despite such a seemingly serious premise, the show still finds a way to be uniquely silly. There's not too much I can say here without spoiling plot elements or jokes, but just know there were definitely points when I was laughing out loud.

3. The characters

While Grint's character drives the show as the protagonist, Nick Frost playing a bumbling, goofy doctor is also guaranteed to provide entertainment. Not to mention, 2000's kids have a further reason to rejoice as Lindsey Lohan joins the cast in season two.

4. Cliffhangers

As I said, every ending will be keeping you wanting to hit the "next episode" button.

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.
