New Years Resolutions You Should Make
The Jazz Corner

Here we are again, a new year along with a new year full of goals that you may or may not accomplish. Whatever your goals may be in life, there are some basic resolutions that should always be a part of your New Years Resolutions list; and no, I'm not talking about cutting down on the amount of drinks you buy at the bar on dollar night.

Be more positive

Now I'm not telling you that you have to be a happy ray of sunshine 24 hours of the day, but instead of constantly complaining, look more toward the bright side of things. Not everything is bad!

Drink more water

Often times, we don't drink enough water every day. Drinking enough water each day can reduce your risk of dehydration, can help clear up any skin problems, aid in weight management, and much more! So put down your third cup of Dunkin' coffee or your can of Coke, and drink some water.

Take more naps

Yes, you read that right. If you didn't get enough sleep throughout the night, help your body out and take a short nap. Naps will help you feel more energized and thus make you more productive during the day. Just don't take a 5 hour nap late in the afternoon, ya feel me?

Be more patient

Did you know that you're not always in a constant race against the world? Have some patience every once in a while. Being more patient can really reduce your stress that you are most likely putting on yourself. Take a breather, everything is going to be OK.

Talk more & text less

One of the best things in the world is good communication. You know what's even better? Communicating with someone in person! Instead of only communicating with others with your handy-dandy phone, why not meet up and have some real social interaction? Your followers on twitter can wait.

Take better care of yourself

This is not just limited to a balanced diet and exercise! This also includes more sleep and learning to love yourself and the body you are in. As Justin Bieber would say, "you should go and love yourself".


Have a great New Year and conquer 2017!

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.
