Wow that's a good one.

I'll use that one.

You met five twins?!

I was like...

Somebody in my hall was a quadruple twin.

I've met sextuplets before and I'm like...that doesn't make sense to me.

Oooooh that's where the vegetarian is!

Yeah

Bruh...

There's like a vegan burger

That's pretty cool

Oooh...

Let's just go there tomorrow

And so um the answer is yes and no.

Did you go to the practice rooms last night?

Did you practice last night?

I was so done that I just...

Did your wrist hurt?

My wrist hurt a little bit.

My wrists don't hurt my fingers hurt.

My fingers just hurt.

All the joints..?

Do you have any pain?

Nah Juney's a beast.

Yeah, like my wrists.

No pain it's just like...

My entire face just shut down

I was boutta sleep at the piano.

I wanna sleep on a desk or something or just on the floor but I'm scared...

We should tell him we'd rather practice.

You're allowed to play for a certain time.

Does he have like actual lessons?

I think it's any time; if you need help just go.

I thought it's just chilling...

We're going to do this for a month

Stay tuned.

Bro our wrists are going to hurt so much.

When my right hand bends, my wrist hurts.

You like shift your body to it?

Especially if it's like down there.

If you're down there for a while, though, your whole body is down there for a while.

Ok well his wrist hurts too so....

I'm like sliding the keys right now.

I might just get a slice of pizza to go...you know?

I've eaten straight cantaloupe for the last... three days.

Our RA told us not to eat the fruit because they're sketchy.

I ate that honeydew and it tasted like...not good.

I think they hold onto it for a whole week.

The blueberries are bad too.

Don't touch the fruit.

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.
