If you don't go here, you're just going to be jealous...

Troy University

Troy University is a small school that is located an hour away from the nearest Target, but it makes up for that with its breathtaking architecture and landscaping. While there's not always a lot to do in Troy, you can't deny that it truly is a beautiful place to learn.

11. Trojan Arena

I'm just saying... our sporting arena is actually pretty stunning.

10. Veteran's Memorial Stadium

While most people probably wouldn't think a football stadium would make the list, those people definitely haven't experienced a Troy football game at sunset.

9. SAGA

What SAGA lacks in taste, it makes up for in design. While I'm definitely not a fan of SAGA food, I have to admit, this building is pretty beautiful.

8. SAGA Patio

While this is technically still SAGA, the patio and balcony area is definitely on a whole different level from the interior.

7. John Maloy Long Hall

While this building is gorgeous on the outside, the real beauty lies within. Seriously... if you've ever walked through Long, you know that it's probably the prettiest building on campus. As an added bonus, it's filled with beautiful music, since it's the music and dance building. Whenever I walk through Long, I feel like I'm in Fame.

6. The Bookstore Patio

Whoever designed Barnes and Noble at Troy University did it right... I'm serious, this patio is a much more aesthetically pleasing place to study than the library (which is definitely not on this list).

5. Sorrell Chapel

This hidden gem is tucked away from the rest of the campus behind Janice Hawkins Park. It's super beautiful with its stain glass windows and romantic architecture.

4. New Hall

If you live in New Hall, I'm jealous. Honestly, with rooms overlooking Janice Hawkins Park, you have it made. It's also just a stunning building.

3. The New Hall Archway

I know I already have New Hall on the list, but standing in the archway is a completely different experience. Doesn't it just look magical?

2. Janice Hawkins Park

If you want to spend a little time in nature without actually roughing it and pitching a tent, eno-ing at Janice Hawkins Park is the way to go. It's so pretty. Just look at this picture.

1. The Quad

If you're a Troy University student, you can't tell me that you don't fight the urge to put the quad on your Snapchat story every single day. I'm going into my senior year and I still am amazed by how absolutely stunningly beautiful the quad is. With a view like this every single morning, I feel (almost) energized enough for an 8 AM.

If these pictures weren't proof enough that Troy University is ridiculously gorgeous, I suggest you head on over here and check it out for yourself.

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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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?
