The Trojans, Twitter, And Clemson
Donny Knight Photography

Twitter has always been the place where we beat out the 140 characters to be witty. 90% of the time it works, other times its about as good at Clemson was during the #TROYvCLEM game- awful and in need of help.

It's a well known fact that the Trojan community is still pretty salty about the September 10, 2016 game versus the Clemson Tigers. You didn't have to be watching the game to know what was happening. I was on my way to Atlanta for a Braves baseball game with my sorority sisters, and Twitter was blowing up with updates on the game. It's not often a tiny Sunbelt Conference school holds their own playing the #2 SEC team in the nation. If I wasn't getting updates via the Twitter-sphere, I found loads of updates on Facebook between my Trojan friends and the live updates Facebook gave me at the top of my newsfeed.

Troy was trending on social media, and was even the top Twitter trend the day of the game. Whether it was just 'Troy,' #OneTroy, or #TROYvCLEM, the fans were responding. I combed through these feeds and picked out nine of my personal favorite salty tweets. Let it be known that the Troy Trojans are not to be messed with- just ask Clemson and their favorite ACC Refs.

1.

It's a fun twist to the Fight Song, don't ya think?

2.

Kermit has something to say about the game too, but that's none of my business.

3.

I guess all they could see was the orange and purple.

4.


You can't screenshot gifs, and I wanted to keep the authenticity of the tweet. If Kermit hadn't said it all, Hagrid did.

5.


Kudos to Coach Brown for Rebuilding the Wall and also remaining as professional as he did during the game. He's certainly a coach Troy will remember. Coach Brown led the Trojans to a victory in my books.

6.

Same girl, same.

7.

It'd honestly be better than any of the other option we have. NEAL BROWN 2016 YA'LL.

8.

I want to make this a poster and put it on my wall to get me through the rest of the school year. #inspiration

9.

I think we all know to settle this dispute we just need a rematch, but on Trojan turf this time. Are you up for the challenge Clemson?

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
