Goodbye, 2016.

The Best (and Worst) Moments of 2016

Well, 2016 is coming to an end. Another year of broken new year resolutions. Another year of new television shows. Another year of ridiculous trends. Another year of absolutely incredible music. Another year of struggles and heartbreak. Another year of getting back up and living. I have captured what I think are the best and worst moments of 2016 as a prelude to the new year.

1. Gilmore Girls revival

The Gilmore Girls revival was for sure one of the best moments of 2016. Many missed Stars Hollow, the wittiness of Rory and the love of Lorelei.

2. The election

Best or worst moment/event of 2016? That is really for you decide but it was too controversial and important to not put on the list.

3. Broncos winning the Super Bowl

The worst. Because who actually likes the Broncos?

4. JuJu On That Beat

It was the best for awhile because it was funny watching thousands of renditions trend on Twitter and go viral but after the tenth time and your own attempt it got really annoying...which sadly makes it one of the worst trends of 2016.

5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Such an incredible movie and it brought Potterheads and Hogwarts fans much joy.

6. Mannequin Challenge

This was one of the best moments because it was so fun to watch people's different take on the mannequin challenge and the song Black Beatles will be on people's playlist forever.

7. Lemonade

It dropped in April and it triggered a musical frenzy. One of the best albums of 2016. Every track and the visual album caused even Beyoncé haters to show some love for the singer.

8. Leo got his Oscar

Leonardo DiCaprio getting his Oscar is one of the best moments of 2016! It finally happened and his speech did not disappoint. You go, Leo!

9. Facebook Live

One of the best moments of 2016 because it is a whole new way of interacting with your Facebook friends. A lot of the videos that I have seen are funny and enjoyable.

10. Alan Rickman's death

One of the worst moments. Everybody will remember professor Severus Snape forever. RIP.

11. Brangelina break-up

Best or worst? Once again, you decide but for some, love is forever broken and one of the most dynamic duo in Hollywood disappoints many.

12. Kardashian, West and Swift drama

Maybe one of the best just because it was pure entertainment. The feud between them all, the not-so-subtle tweets and the audio recording revealed on snapchat was just too incredible to be real.

13. Baby Dream

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's baby is cute but the name is just...interesting? Best or worst either way a moment we must remember of 2016.

14. The 2016 Summer Olympics

One of the best for sure! The summer Olympics are always a fun time to watch with the family, even with the Ryan Lochte drama.

15. Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After

Sadly, this was one of the worst moments of 2016, as this was probably the worst show of the 21st century.

Well, fifteen isn't quite enough. A lot happened in 2016 and I know more will happen in 2017. Bring on the new year.

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.
