So here is what you missed on Glee...

GLEE

This May marked the 10 year anniversary of Ryan Murphy's hit show Glee and I couldn't feel more emotional about it.

For those who don't know, Glee was a six-season long show that aired on Fox. It was about a group of teenagers in a small town in Ohio that were part of a Glee club. The shows incredible success helped in jumpstarting actors such as Lea Michele and Darren Criss's careers. Celebrities such as Britney Spears, John Stamos and Gwyneth Paltrow took part in the series. Though not everyone's career skyrocketed after the show, everyone on the cast was incredibly talented.

Glee is a series that I continue to watch time and time again. I watched it when it was live and probably once to twice a year every year since. It still never gets old. The show not only includes incredible performances of iconic songs, but included so much more. Whether it be laughing at the crazy one-liner Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) said or crying as I watched Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison) hysterically cry into Finn's letterman (Corey Monteith) in the "Quarterback" episode, the show always had me engaged.

The show covered so many topics and included so many different types of people. The club called New Directions included not only the individuals that were seen as misfits but also three football players and three cheerleaders. The diversity of members caused for so many different storylines. The show discussed teen pregnancy, bullying, LGBTQ+ relationships as well as many other topics that weren't being discussed in television shows.

Though I am obsessed with the show, it became very hard to watch after lead actor Corey Monteith passed away. Watching Glee without Finn Hudson was hard to do. Though the episodes were well made, you could tell that the show was just trying to finish their contract after Monteith's passing. Finn Hudson was the quarterback on the football team, the male lead in the glee club and the first "cool" person to join the club. His character was often seen as the level-headed genuinely good guy. Throughout the series, Finn dated lead female Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). Michele and Monteith were dating in real life up until his passing.

I don't see a time where I get tired of watching the series. Whether I am watching it because I want to hear good covers (their cover of "Don't Stop Believing" is so iconic), laugh, or cry, I never regret putting it on. So if you haven't, I highly encourage you to watch it.

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.
