Who says we can't win GOLD?!?

With the new semester vastly approaching for college kids everywhere and the Olympics going on down in Rio, I could not help to think about if they gave out Gold medals and had an Olympics in college, who would win? Here is the competitions and winners that I think would take the Gold!

1. The Obnoxious Jock


If you thought that jocks were just in high school, you were wrong. Most of the time jocks are worse than ever in college. Rather they be the star of the Team or in a major Fraternity, they normally always think they rule the school. These are the ones who most teachers just give an A, to pass and to continue letting them play for the school.

The way to tell which Jock wins gold, is by the amount of school colors they are wearing and how many A's they get without trying.

2. The Sleeper

I know that sometimes there is that one dreaded teacher that you cannot seem to sit through without closing your eyes atleast once! (especially if it is an 8 a.m.) There is always that one kid in the back of every class who decides that a little catnap or two won't hurt, but they do it every single class period!

The Gold in this one is given to the person who can do this without snoring and can still halfway keep up with the class information!

3. The Extracurricular Guru


It does not really matter what his grades are, but this guy is apart of every club on campus! Environmental Club, Check. Honors Club, Check. Sci-Fi Club, Check. Even clubs you did not even know existed! In addition to all of these, they are also either president or apart of the board on at least half!

The gold goes to the one who is a member of the most clubs. Bonus points if you are apart of the board or higher!

4. The 4.0 Student

This student can make an A with there eyes closed. Even a 99 is mediocre for them! These are the students everyone else envies, although one day we will probably have to work under them.

Gold is awarded to the student who maintains a 4.0 and takes the most hours in one semester.

5. The Serial Whiner

In the easiest class where you are already guaranteed an A, this person will still complain! Everything to them is hard and they say they will never make it anywhere in there lives. This is probably the same person that will leave you hanging in the group project, so watch out!
To win this gold, someone must complain at least once every minute and cry three times a class.


We may be the same age as those in Rio, but we sure do not have their skills! Atleast we all shine in our own areas!

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?
