Shopping is a girl’s favorite hobby. We love it because we take the opportunity to spoil ourselves and we also use it as a getaway from reality.

1.

Credit/Debit cards are a girl’s best friend.

We love to shop until we drop, literally. Shopping relieves our stress and we get to be updated in fashion. Not even just clothes, but we also like to buy makeup whether it’s a new eye shadow palette, new mascara, or even new lipstick. Shopping is in our nature and it’s fun to do with your girls on a rainy day, or even when you’re feeling down.

2. Online shopping is great too!

When it’s stormy weather out there, and you’re not in the mood to go deal with the heavy rain as you run to your car, you also have the option to do some online shopping. The best part about online shopping is that there is always some kind of sale going on and 9 out of 10 times, you can have the option of receiving free shipping, which is a great bonus!

3. Shopping is a major stress reliever to us girl’s.

When we’re upset or just feeling down, shopping gives us a way of looking past that feeling and making ourselves happy by buying what we want. Nothing tops that feeling of getting what you want at the store and being excited for a night out to wear what you bought! That same feeling continues with makeup because we, as girls, get excited to try on new lipsticks and eye shadows as well when we are getting ready to go out.

It’s safe to say that if shopping weren’t so quickly available, us girls would have to find a new hobby. Shopping may be important to us because it gives us a means of escaping whatever stress we carry with us, or it can even be for enjoyment to make ourselves happy. It’s the best form of putting ourselves first and the best way to cheer ourselves up!

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.
