13 Reasons Why USC is The Best School Ever
Fits News

As we await college football (aka tailgating) season, let us remind ourselves why the University of South Carolina is the best school ever. Go cocks!

1. Football

We may not have had the best season last year, but with new coach Will Muschamp we're ready to get back on the horse and kick some SEC butt.

2. Tailgating

No one tailgates like us. Trust me.

3. Cocky

Aka the best mascot ever. He rides Segways, he does cartwheels, he even tweets. No one is quite like Cocky.

4. School pride

Even when we're not doing so well on the field, USC students will still be screaming in the stands.

5. Garnet and black

Our school colors look great together and are even flattering on everyone. Not everyone can rock orange, Clemson.

6. Darude Sandstorm

Before I came to USC, I only knew this song as a meme. Now I know it as the song that instantly makes everyone totally hype, no matter where you are.

7. Columbia

Columbia perfectly combines a college town with a capital city, giving you everything a student could possibly want.

8. Weather

No snow storms here, just beautiful days.

12. Food

Maybe it's because I grew up in the north, but I just can't get enough of that southern cooking. Carolina's food was even named #23 in the nation.

9. Five Points

Need I say more?

10. Strom Thurmond Fitness Center

It's beautiful and huge, and I wouldn't want to work out (or people watch) anywhere else.

12. Athletics

Football isn't the only sport. Our women's basketball team, men's baseball team, and equestrian team are just some of the sports that did fantastically last season.

13. Hootie and the Blowfish/Darius Rucker

All four members of Hootie and the Blowfish went to USC, including Darius Rucker, who loved it so much he comes back and gives the students free concerts.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
