In honor of the new season coming out soon, what better way to celebrate than figure out what the inmates would be involved in if they were in college!

Alex: International Business Major

With her previous history of commerce (i.e. drug smuggling) she is a very well-equipped individual in foreign affairs.

Piper Chapman: Going for MRS Degree

Piper isn't really quite sure what she's doing with her life ever since she got put in the Litchfield Penenitary. We aren't quite sure if she's going to marry Larry or Alex. Clearly, she's willing to swing either way.

Pennsatucky: Religious Studies

Pennsatucky is a very well known Pro-life supporter. She also is believed to be gifted from God with healing powers.


Daya Diaz: Illustration

Throughout all of Daya's struggles in the prison (secretly being in love with a guard and getting knocked up by him), she becomes the illustrator for the prison's newspaper. The inmates found a lot of liking to her illlustrations because they seemed to have resembled the employees of the prison.

Nicky: Women's Studies

As many of you may know, Nicky is very very familar with women. So why not study them? But let's be honest, she studies women a lot and is very in depth with her studies.

Brooke Soso: Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution

Soso got put into the prison for attaching herself to a tree so that it could not be cut down. In Litchfield, she is bullied for talking too much. She just wants to be friends with everyone.

Red: Culinary Arts

Red is at first the known cook until she gets kicked out of the kitchen. When she is kicked out she isn't really sure what to do with herself

Crazy Eyes: Creative Writing

Crazy eyes isn't exactly the best at expressing her emotions towards the other inmates. However, she finds peace through her very descriptive novels and poetry. The other inmates seem to like her novels very likable as well.

Morello: Commercial Vehicle Operation

Morello is the van driver for Litchfield. She always talks about her "finance" Christopher and talks about how much they are in love, even though he never comes to visit. She is revoked her position as van driver, not when she escapes and breaks into Christopher's house, but after she leaves the keys in the ignition and allows another inmate to escape.

Poussey Washington: Substance Abuse and Addiction Counseling

She is very good at her personal alcohol brew called Toliet Hooch. She then becomes very addicted to it. She found herself in Litchfield for dealing marijuana.

Sophia Burset: Hair Styling and Design

Sophia loves doing hair and makeup while making the inmates feel pretty.

Gloria : Aromatherapy and Herbalism

She is very good giving advice and using her "spells" with Norma. She convinces a lot of the inmates of her healing powers.

Yoga Jones: Yoga and Movement Therapy

Yoga is always seen leading Yoga classes for the inmates. She is always doing yoga.

So stay tuned to Netflix when Season 4 comes out on June 17!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
