Sixteen Moments That Everyone Experienced During The Hurricane Weekend, As Told By Hamilton

It's no surprise that Hurricane Matthew threw all of us for a loop this past weekend. If you're anything like me, then you tried to power through the storms and make the best of it. I am grateful to say that my friends, my family, and I all made it through the hurricane safely. I hope the same goes for everyone out there that is reading this article. Without further ado, here's a little commentary on the events of this past weekend as told by our friends from the Broadway musical Hamilton.

1.) The moment when the news is broken to you that a storm's a comin'... And you think you're ready.

2.) The moment when you learn that class is cancelled...


3.) When your friends are like, "Yo, you know you ain't actually ready."


4.) So you start to formulate your survival plan...


5.) So naturally things get a little crazy and you resort to buying ALL of the snacks...

6.) The moment when you mentally prepare yourself for the storm to hit...


7.) Then come the moment when you and your hurricane buddies lock the doors and take your places…

8.) You begin to the wait for the storm to hit...

9.) Then, of course, there's the moment when the pre-storm drinking begins...

10.) Then the storm finally hits and everything seems chaotic...

11.) So you try and act like the wind isn't scaring you, but you're actually terrified.


12.) The moment when your lights flickers and so you stare at your light switch and say...

13.) But then you realize that you've lost power and so you resort to lighting candles and saying things like this...

14.) Then comes the moment of victory when the storm is finally over...

15.) The moment when it hits you that you live in a coastal state and that hurricanes are a common occurrence...

16.) But you push that thought aside and FINALLY celebrate the passing of the hurricane.

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.
