"Sun Records" Review

CMT

If you're not watching CMT's "Sun Records" yet, you should be.

Ever heard of the "Million Dollar Quartet?" If not by that name, you're guaranteed to have heard of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley. Well, this show pays homage to their beginnings at Sun Records working with the legendary Sam Phillips.

The massive ensemble cast is lead by Chad Michael Murray as producer Sam Phillips, still in the beginnings of his career. He is joined by a ton of talented actors and actresses, including Drake Milligan, reprising his role from 2014's "Nobody" as a young Elvis Presley. Milligan is killing it, by the way. Quite frankly, everyone is. It's a phenomenal cast.

"Sun Records" is a fantastic nostalgia trip for those who were alive for the rise of Sun Records and a fun history lesson for those who weren't. The cast is super responsive on social media, so don't be afraid to shoot them a message of support or a question; they'll love it!

You can watch a trailer for "Sun Records" below and watch the first two episodes online here. Catch new episodes every Thursday at 10 pm on CMT and Nick at Nite!

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.
