My Generation Doesn't Need The News

Sitting down everyday for about 2 hours to figure out how we need to go about our day. We are at a point where we can check our phones and withing 2 seconds know exactly the temperature is outside and the hourly updates just that simple.

So waiting an hour to get the information seems like a bit of a stretch for us. When I get caught watching the news, it honestly is such a constant eye roll because it is the same exact thing over and over in that hour.

I could have read at least 20 articles about more relevant things that affect me and could have been way less bored. I just the new doesn't go into to much of the story line. They show you a video no conclusion just some crazy point in that video.

All I am thinking is what led up to this and what happened. These are the questions the news leaves me. Now if I hop onto Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook take about 5 minutes someone will have solved the entire case with facts to back it up.

This is the number one reason why we are no longer interested in the news. More important things are happening out there. We acknowledge it and want to learn the best way we know how.

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.

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.
