Your high school graduation, your best birthday, New Year's Eve, prom...what do they all have in common? They're all memorable! They can count as some of the biggest moments in your life, and you probably have photographic evidence of each tucked away somewhere in the depths of your photo gallery.

But what about those neglected moments in life that we experience daily—moments we are all thankful for, but forget as easily as the Staples Easy button? What about those underrated memories that honestly give us that warm, happy feeling in our bellies?

Let's all take a second and appreciate the top 10 underrated feelings we experience in our lifetimes:

1. Hearing an old song you used to jam out to play in the middle of the store, bringing back all memories ever.


2. Getting into bed after a long—LONG—day.

3. Putting on fuzzy socks. Period.

4. When eating a sandwich, you get to that bite right in the middle that makes your mouth water.

5. That feeling when you put on warm clothes after a shower—there's just nothing like it.

6. Just seeing that cute dog on the street... #letdogsruletheworld.

7. Getting to that day when enough time has passed that you can wear your favorite outfit again.


8. Walking by a booth and getting offered free samples — clearly nothing else in life feels this freeing, literally and metaphorically.

9. Being complimented randomly — even when it happens in a restroom at Outback.

10. Finding that new song you know you'll be annoyed of soon, when you literally decide to slay that replay button.

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.
