New Hot Spot in Lexington!

For those of you who live near The Wyatt, 525/524 and the Townhomes at Newtown Crossing, have I got news for you! Not too long ago a nondenominational church opened up a community space for everyone to enjoy!

480 is known to be a community space and cafe near the University of Kentucky that provides a venue for events, recreation, quiet study, and friendly interaction. Their mission is to provide a space for members of the community and students of UK to study, interact, network, and enjoy events. They have events such as:

Zumba

and Tailgating for UK Games and soon much more.
Every tailgating event comes with amazing people and FREE food!

If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. 480 offers a unique experience, whether you're sitting at the wood slab bar of the café, scaling the 17' climbing wall, using the free high-speed Internet to study, or just hanging out with your friends in the lounge. You could also catch one of the games on one of our big screens or take part in the many of events that 480 has to offer.

There's something for everyone!

Drop in, grab a coffee, and relax at the bar or on a couch in the lounge. Or if you feel like breaking a sweat, hop on the rock wall, bust a move in a Zumba class, or participate in another rigorous exercise endeavor.

They are open from 4-10pm every day for anyone to come hang out. They also have church services on Sunday mornings at 11am that begin with contemporary worship and follow up with a message, which lasts until just after 12pm.

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.
