The 7 Most Out-Of-This-World Things About Comic-Con

Since the purchasing of tickets for this year's Comic-Con International has just closed, I thought it would be a great thing to tell you about some of the best things that can be found at Comic-Con. This is going to be my fifth year going to Comic-Con and I have to say, it continues to impress me every time. There are so many amazing things about Comic-Con, but here are some of the best things that I have experienced over the years.

1. Seeing the Floor

The floor is one of the most interesting things about Comic-Con. Every year the floor is a little different, but you will always have the big booths. From Marvel, DC and LEGO to Warner Brothers, ABC, and WETA, these guys have some of the biggest and best booths on the floor.

2. Meeting famous people

The amount of stars that are present during the few days of Comic-Con is astounding. There are so many panels, signings, and events that these stars are all over the place. They even just choose to go and walk around the floor or the other outside events. I've met a handful of people throughout the years, but some memorable ones include Misha Collins and Mark Sheppard from "Supernatural."

3. WB Signings

These signings are awesome, but also a pain. When you go to get a Warner Brothers signing, it can be a really hard process. This is where a ton of the big signings happen, but this also makes it harder. I have had to be there around 3 a.m. or a tiny bit later in order to get in line. These signings are also drawing based. So you could wait for a really long time and then not even get anything. These could be so much fun and super cool if you have the chance to attend.

4. Cosplayers

There are so many cosplayers that appear during the days of Comic-Con. From super elaborate crazy cosplays to more laid back cosplays, the work that goes into them is amazing. You can't not be astounded by the amount of work that goes into all of these.

5. Free Stuff

Okay, you can not go wrong with free stuff. Half of the things that I have from my times at Comic-Con have been free. There are so many booths that give out free things during the weekend. One of the best freebies is the FOX Poster Tubes. These come from the FOX booth and are so helpful for all of the free posters you get. They have so many of them that they constantly give them out. Every year I end with at least four of these poster tubes.

6. Con Bags

This is one of the best things. Every year Comic-Con International creates different bags for you to get every year. These are included in your purchase of a ticket, but you never know which one you will get. There are even people who try to switch with you or will buy the bag they want from someone else.

7. Panels

This is where you are going to be able to see most of the stars you want to see, as well as exclusive clips for upcoming seasons and movies. I have seen so many people, from Channing Tatum to Evan Peters. These are some of the coolest things to go to, especially if you want to have a break and sit down. Perfect opportunity.

Enjoy the con!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
