Swimming is a great way to exercise or cool off in the summer
Margaret Whittel

Swimming is an all around great sport many people do it for fun or they do it competitively. It is a great way to stay in shape or cool off on a summer day.

1. Swimmers always have at least five bathing suits because we have practice every day and normally people don't wear the same suit unless they really have to. (I did a few times).

2. We have multiple pairs of goggles and we all have our favorite kind. I prefer Speedo Vanquisher because they suction to your face better in my opinion.

3. You've had multiple swim caps break on you. They really hurt when they break especially when it's on your head, they are latex ones instead of silicone.

4. You have so many swim caps that you can't even count them all on one finger. Everyone gets one for my high school team and then we all have so many extras it's not even funny. I have seven or eight with my name on them from school.

5. Racing suits are hard to come by. Normally you find your two favorite kinds and stick with them. My favorites are TYR and Speedo. Your suit also has to be super tight if you want to go fast. Swim suits are the most important thing because there are so many kinds out there you just have to find your favorite brand.

Swimming is an all around fun sport that can be a bit stressful sometimes; but all in all, it is a very fun sport. It's something I personally love and hope that enthusiasts will enjoy and relish

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.
