The Top 15 World Flags
Wikipedia

Think of how many countries are in the world. Multiply that number by 1, and you'll get the number of country flags. Large number, right? How could you pick the best. Well, I'm going to try. After careful consideration, looking through every flag in the more than 50 in the world, I think I've reached a decision. Lets begin our journey.

15. Beautiful Belize

The color combination of blue, white, and red, sets this country flag apart from most. But perhaps its most defining feature is the two baseball players on the front. The left is using an ax, presumably for larger contact surface area. This microcosmic storyline is just one of the many wonders found in the Belize flag.



14. Interesting Italy

Some may say that Italy's flag and Ireland's flag look far too similar. This is ok.



13. Great Georgia

The 5 plus symbols on the flag is more than any other flag. White and red colors are unique among every world flag. What more could you want? Get out there and enjoy the world.



12. Quintessential Qatar

Qatar has the pointiest flag in the world. Additionally, it has the most Olympics-construction-related deaths in recent history.



11. Majestic Macedonia

Macedonia, named after Mao Zedong, has a flag that resembles Maoist propaganda images from the early 1900s. Sometimes, you just have to stop and smell the flowers.



10. Unnervingly-good United States of America

You'd be hard pressed to find another flag that utilizes these three colors, let alone so effectively!!



9. Neat Nepal

Nepals flag is really an eye catcher. The blue stripes, adjacent to the red fill, inserted with white stars, are unique. The shape is, I suppose, maybe different. But red white and blue is a very interesting color exploration.



8. Lovely Lebanon

Everybody loves trees!!!!



7. Crazy Canada

Everybody loves leaves!!!



6. Sweet Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

I do not really know what this country is. St Vincent is a critically acclaimed musical and visual artist. Perhaps she owns this country.



5. Perfect Poland

Red and white look great together--the only thing that ~might~ be missing is a touch of blue. But these two bold colors are an inventive way to say "Hi, I'm Poland!".



4. Innovative Indonesia

Some may say that Indonesia's flag and Poland's flag look far too similar. This is ok.



3. Stunning Seychelles

Abandoning any precedent from any other country flag, Seychelles' flag incorporates a varying color spectrum, with eye-popping angles. The color adjacencies are respectful, and the artist utilized proper proportioning. Seychelles is a very, very new country, and its flag echoes its modern beginnings.



2. Cool Cote D'Ivoire

Some may say that Core D'Ivoire's flag and Ireland's flag look far too similar. This is ok.


1. Unbridled United States, pt 2

This US flag has an extra star, putting it far ahead of any competition. Good job!!



Of course, nobody has the perfect solution to the Classic Top Flag Conundrum. I just hope I helped a little. Remember, a little bit of heart goes a long way.

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.
