Sometimes movies surprise you and teach you some excellent things. Zombieland, a comedic post-zombie movie, gave us so many rules on how to escape and survive a zombie-filled world, but it seems like the most important lesson is that sometimes you have to follow "Rule 32":

"You gotta enjoy the little things."

It is something so small yet, it can impact anybody's life. Sometimes, life is rough, and sometimes we need to indulge on the little things.

As cliché as it sounds, little things in life make life better than anything in the world. Something as small as smiling or laughing until your sides hurt makes you have a better day. The world is tough sometimes, and some people think that you need to have something big make you feel happy. Little things can make any moment a little bit better. The feeling of just feeling good is something that nobody can ever replace or ever take away from you. Life and being happy is created by yourself and sometimes you just need to open your mind to being happy.

Being happy and relaxing, especially in times of stress and times of busyness, seems hard or unable to reach. Sitting back, maybe taking a nap or just taking it easy for a little while can make your day a little bit better. Sometimes, taking a breath and just realizing how lucky you are to have things in your world, can make you happy. You'll realize the little things might make life big. Anything can be a little thing: eating your favorite food, talking to someone to take away some stress of a busy day or even just taking a walk on the beach.

The little things mean more than they seem. Looking over it all, we all don't remember the little things in the world. The things that impact us and make us enjoy the little things will somehow surprise us in the end.

Always follow Rule 32: Always enjoy the little things.

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.
