If you have Netflix, spend time on Tumblr, or if you just generally don't live under a rock, you have probably, at one point or another, at least heard of the Netflix original show, "Stranger Things". The show, which was released in July, combines horror, supernatural, and mystery. Though it is set in the 1980s and makes use of a vintage title screen, "Stranger Things" is horrifying, addicting, and realistic -- if you believe governmental conspiracies and that supernatural creatures exist, that is.

With only one season of the show released, viewers are left with hundreds of questions that they hope are answered in season two. So, if you've seen "Stranger Things" and loved it, then you probably understand. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?

1. Who is Eleven?

Is she really Terry Ives' daughter?

2. How did Eleven get her powers?

Sure, Terry was an experiment herself, but how was she the only one to have such a powerful child? And what drugs did she take to produce Eleven?

3. Where did the monster come from?

What is it? What is its origin story? Was there only one of them, or are there more in the Upside Down?

4. What is the Upside Down?

Can you only get there through the portals? Is the monster the only thing that lives there?

5. What do Mike and Nancy's parents think happen?

Last they heard, Eleven was dangerous and the entire "U.S. Government" was on the search for their son. Are they glad that Eleven is dead? Did Mike and Nancy set them straight and tell them all about the Upside Down and the monster? Or do they only know the absolute basics?

6. Did Terry Ives ever get better?

Her story line was brief and unsatisfying. Would meeting Eleven bring her back, if Eleven were her long lost daughter? Could Eleven do anything to help?

7. Does Eleven have any more powers?

She can kill people with her mind and reach to the Upside Down, among a slew of other psychokinetic gifts. But they all physically tire her. Will she ever grow and be able to do more for longer? Can she train her mind to do more?

8. Why didn't Nancy and Jonathan end up together?

Sure, Steve got better. He saved them and apologized for being a jerk. Yet Nancy and Steve never really had the chemistry that Nancy and Jonathan did. What a bummer.

9. How is Steve alright?

He walked in at the wrong time and got attacked by the monster, but he totally took it in stride. Why doesn't he have a million questions?

10. What happened to Eleven?

Is she still alive? Is she all alone in the Upside Down? And what does Chief Hopper know about her situation?

11. Speaking of Hopper, what happened when he was taken away in the government car?

Was he paid for his silence? Did he learn more about Eleven from them? Was he able to speak to her?

12. Is Will actually alright?

He went to the Upside Down, he was nearly sucked lifeless by the monster, and now he's coughing up pieces of it. Is he really alright? Does he have some weird connection to the monster now?

13. And, most importantly, why does no one care about Barbara?

What do her parents think? Why doesn't Nancy, her best friend, care about Barbara's death? #JusticeForBarbara

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.
