Remember These 5 Throwback YouTube Videos?

youtube

It's safe to say that the invention of YouTube changed our generation and the way we interact. I remember when we were first introduced to it in 5th or 6th grade. My friends and I would spend hours on end looking up random and pointless videos on YouTube. Looking back, I see how much time we wasted doing this, but I also remember the hours of gut-splitting laughter that resulted from these videos. So, here's a look into my late childhood entertainment, and the entertainment of many others my age.

1. Muffins

This is a video with absolutely no point. It is also a video with basically no storyline. This video consists mostly of an endless string of muffin flavors.

2. Charlie The Unicorn

This is a video of a journey to the majestic Candy Mountain. It is a long journey filled with pointless banter ending with a surprise twist. Stay tuned to see what it is.

3. Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise

This video contains a catchy tune that will be stuck in your head for years, decades, eons even. Fun fact: When my friends and I were about 5th graders, we recreated this video at a sleepover. The finished product was epic, though I'm unsure where it ended up. Enjoy!

4. The Duck Song

This video shows many emotions through the character of a small business owner: a man at a lemonade stand. This man goes from happy to frustrated to distraught very quickly with the help of an ever so persistent duck.

5. Marcel The Shell With Shoes On

This video details the life of an extremely well rounded shell. Marcel can do many things that I couldn't even dream of (hang-gliding for example). Also, the voice used in this video is absolutely adorable.

If you have made it this far, I would like to now apologize for this time of your life that I have wasted. You can never get these fourteen minutes and six seconds of your life back, and for that, I am truly sorry. After re-watching all of these videos that I found so humorous in my childhood, I now realize how pointless they were and how little sense they make. But hey, at the time, they were amazing. I hope they brought you back to a younger you!

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

"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.
