1. How to keep bees:

Bees are dying out so quickly that there is a petition to get them on the United States' endangered species list. I think it would be cool to learn how to keep them safe and off the endangered species list. Hopefully my attempts don't turn out like the guy above.

2. How to paint with watercolors:

Art is a beautiful thing. I can't think of a better way to show my appreciation to art and artists alike than to learn to paint. One day when I am rich I will pay all you wonderful artists, but for now I will learn to paint.

3. How to make candles:

Who doesn't love candles? I am a candle fanatic. I think it would be totally legit to be able to make my own candles with their own scents, colors, size, and fancy styles. Making candles would be a really cool skill!

4. How to code:

Coding could be a valuable skill in today's technological world and it would be very helpful just knowing the basics of how things like the internet work. Also, I'd like to be referred to as Hackerman when I learn to code, thanks.

5. How to bind books:

As a lover of books, I have often sat and wondered how books were bound before they were being mass produced. I have also wondered how I would ever get my beloved books fixed because in all honesty, I am not the nicest to them. Well, bookbinding was my answer and after some research I decided that I wanted to learn to bind books! It would be so cool to fix up old books for a library or museum!

6. How to become a TeaMaster:

Now, before you go shaking your head at me, tea mastery is a real thing. They have schools you can go to that teach you how to make tea from the actual tea leaves, how to mix them to make your own flavors, or teas to help with certain ailments!! I think that'd be a pretty cool gig.


These are just a few things I think would be cool to know how to do. I hope you find them neat too!!

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.

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.
