T-Station Comfort Levels

Ranging from 1-10

T-Station Comfort Levels

As a resident of Massachusetts, it is probable that you have or will utilize at least one of the several T-station lines that are running in and out of Boston. This seemingly complex system is a lifesaver for students, commuters, city-goers and anyone looking to go on trip to our beloved city. Through a kind and appreciative heart for the ability to use such transportation, I give you my personal thoughts while on the Red line one busy Wednesday morning.

1. OK, only a few people here. I have a seat. This is good.

2. All of the seats are gone. There are some people standing. I'm still breathing though. It's all good.

3. Slightly annoyed that I'm eye level with this man's crotch. Also, I'm being eyeballed by a man silently smiling to himself in the corner.

4. This woman's elbow is actually in my ribs. She's reading a book. A real book. So I respect her, but we basically share an arm at this point.

5. Ok, so, creepy silent smiler has began making wheezing noises, and I'm not sure what to do here.

6. This is completely packed. This is a fire hazard. How many people actually fit in one city??


7. We're experiencing "technical difficulties" and will be back up and running "momentarily". I suppose stopping now is better than completely breaking down. Though we are in a dark tunnel. This feels eerily similar to that space movie with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Am I floating?

8. Ok, I've been spotted by a hipster. He's kind of cute but he's taking pictures of the leather straps that the poor "standers" hold onto at their own risk. The Christian Grey of hipsters?

9. I'm sweating. It's 23 degrees yet the body heat in this small box is unbearable. I can't take off my jacket, though, because this woman's arm is my arm now. Telepathy? Are you there?

10. I'm one more stop away and I haven't had my coffee and yet I still smell like someone dumped an XL hot from Dunkin' in my hair with a side of Axe body spray. Why do people still use Axe?

11. If you get off of the train and see no pigeons or strange substances leaking from the ceiling, it's a bonus. Even more so if you get a smile from a cute guy.

We still love you and all of your inhabitants, Boston. Thanks for giving us a wicked awesome way to get to work.

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.
