Thoughts You Have While Guarding the Rock

Original photo

I painted the Rock for my first time this past weekend, and it was definitely quite the experience. From a turf war Friday (we lost) to four hours of sleep Saturday, the night was an adventure that I won't soon forget. But hey, our design looked great. Too bad it was painted over 24 hours later...

24 hours isn't too bad

Do I have to reserve the Rock...?

Ugh, I kind of forgot that it gets dark by the Rock...

Are there seriously no plugs out here?

Yeah so I'm essentially freezing

WHY ARE NONE OF THE BUILDINGS UNLOCKED?? I MUST PEE.

Oh look, a cop! We're aloud to be painting this, right...?

Wait, where do I get paint? It's provided for me, right?

Why is paint SO EXPENSIVE??

Painting the rock will be interesting, considering my complete lack of artistic talent.

Unsurprisingly, sleeping in a tent on a ground made of sharp gravel is not comfortable.

Also this tent is COVERED in paint.

Also, how do I paint?

What design do I want to paint....?

Dear lord, that took so much time. If somebody paints over it tomorrow I might cry.

In other news, did you know you can watch a live feed of the Rock?

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.
