An Ode To Socks

Life may get you down, but socks never will!

An Ode To Socks

If you know anything about me, you know that socks are one of my favorite things. They can’t be just any socks though. They have to be the ones with, say, cute little sloths on them for example.

Life may get you down, but fun socks never will (unless they start to die, in which case it might be rough day). Thankfully, however, socks generally have a decent life span and you don’t have to worry about a pair dying on the daily.

Generally, socks will always be there to brighten your day. You may fail a test, but at least you have hot pink socks with bananas on them. How can you not smile about that?

Weather got you down? Go with the flow and wear your sailboat socks!

Happy just because? Show it with your socks that have cheerful elephants riding bicycles!

Love to skate, but can’t currently be on the ice? Pretend to be on the ice with your skating penguin socks!

Can’t wait until summer? Get the tropical feels by wearing your sky-blue socks with parrots on them!

Feeling super cool? Wear one of your many pairs of Spiderman socks!

You see, you really can’t go wrong with a good pair of socks.

While I love them all, one of my favorites are ones with cacti simply because who in the world owns socks with cacti?! Well, I do!

Call me crazy, but I actually have a list going of socks I want. Ones with manatees, giraffe socks, and monkey socks just to name a few. I could go on, but then we would be here all day.

Want to start a sock collection, but don't know where to go? Have no fear, I got an answer! Target! I'd be lying if I say I haven't made a stop at Target just to see if they've updated their sock collection.

Need a day to celebrate? December 4th is National Sock Day!

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.
