Boston is a great city, it has its quaint yet hustle bustle moments. There’s history all around this city and walking through Beacon Hill is just something unlike anything else. Here are some things that typical Bostonians see, say, experience or do.

  • It’s not the train, it’s simply the “T”
  • Boston and practically all of New England runs on Dunkin. Of course people have Starbucks but majority rely on a good ole cup of Joe from dunks.
  • This goes with the next thing: It does not matter how old it gets, you will see people with ice coffees in the winter.
  • There’s nothing like a nice bowl of New England clam chowdah.
  • It’s just Boston, this Beantown term is rarely used by those who are actually from Boston.
  • Don’t bother wearing any other team jersey around the city. It’s either Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics or Bruins. Boston sport fans are incredibly dedicated even if the team itself is not doing well, but that’s the beauty of fandom’s.
  • Newbury St is the best place to shop or at least window shop.
  • Duck tours have become normal vehicles on the roads.
  • After experiencing the amount show we got a couple years back (record breaking snowfall), this is just simply a light dusting of snow.
  • Winter is basically mid October to April.
  • Belichick and Brady are right behind God and Jesus.
  • You cross the street when there are no cars coming, the sign doesn’t matter.
  • No one can do the Boston accent right, no matter how HAHD they try.
  • Those things on all vehicle called blinkers, are non existent to you. Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon can do no wrong.
  • Finally, we are all proud of our city. We are all Boston Strong.

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.

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.
