It’s that special time of year again. Long Saturdays spent with thousands of your closest friends and enemies, witnessing history in the making and making memories that will last a lifetime. That’s right, it’s football season in the SEC. So, to make your Saturday in Athens a little more enjoyable, here is a list of tailgating essentials. 

A day of tailgating would not be complete without a game of cornhole. Bring a game of cornhole to your tailgating spot and start up a game with anyone around you!  Never miss an opportunity to make new friends and get in the competitive spirit  before the game!

Tailgating can be exhausting, so make sure you come prepared with food on food on food. From BBQ to chips and dip, there are so many different recipes and ideas  that will leave you fat and happy. Football and food is the perfect combination, so  impress your friends with a stacked table.  

The day wouldn’t be complete without music. Bring a Jambox or anything that will play your favorite songs loud and proud. Want to have a dance party? Tailgating is the perfect place to get hundreds of your closest friends to join in on a pump up  song.  

If you’re feeling ambitious, bring along a tent or lawn chair. Having a shaded spot  and somewhere to sit is never a bad thing; so if you’re committed to carrying around  a tent all day, go for it! I guarantee you will have people begging to join you under  the shade.  

Last but not certainly not least; a day of tailgating and football would not be complete without the perfect outfit. Get decked out in red and black, and wear your colors loud and proud. Flaunt what you got and don’t be ashamed to bleed red and black. 

Football is a way of life in the fall, so do it right and tailgate like a pro.

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.
