Travel Insurance Review

This past week I was roped in to accompanying my mom on a business trip to the great state of Alabama. Along our journey, we made a stop in the quaint little river laced town of Scottsboro, Alabama. Time and time again we had been enticed by veteran shoppers to gather our courage and make the pilgrimage to Scottsboro. For you see, it is there that unclaimed goods from air travelers far and wide are resurrected, purified and organized for consumers of any age.

Covering over 40,000 square feet, this Mecca of treasures holds many a quest for the bargain shopper extraordinaire. Placing over 7,000 items out per day, it always holds a hunt for the eager shopper. We spent hours searching and sifting through all sorts of electronics, clothes, jewelry, books, movies, instruments, golf clubs and anything else you could possibly take on a plane. There was no telling what we would stumble upon in this sea of lost luggage, missing merchandise, and forgotten finds. All of our treasures came at a wallet friendly price that seemed so unreal. How could it be possible to walk out of the store with a new pair of Nike shoes, 3 shirts, 2 hats and a few pieces of jewelry, all under $100? The variety of finds, along with their prices, absolutely blew us away.

After making this trip it is easy to why this warehouse of inspirational finds lures over a million eager seeker each year. Assuredly, we will embark on yet another thrill seeking, habit forming, soul restoring, therapeutic shopping expedition to Unclaimed Baggage.

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.
