Come one, come all to the WVU Panhellenic Carnival
created by Morgan Goff

This Saturday, September 17th from 1-4 PM, the sororities on campus will be having a carnival on the Mountainlair Green on the downtown campus of West Virginia University. Invitations have been extended to elementary schools across the county and city. The general public is encouraged to attend and enjoy a snow cone and freshly popped popcorn.

There will be games with prizes. Each chapter is hosting a carnival booth. For example, Alpha Xi Delta has put together a "lucky duck" game. Kappa Kappa Gamma will be having a tin can tumble and Sigma Kappa has organized a giant plink game.

This event is also unique because all proceeds from the carnival will be donated to The Shack. The Shack Neighborhood House is dedicated to serving the community and provides a safe, inclusive, and fun environment for learning. This is not the first time the Panhellenic community has worked with The Shack. During the Greek Games last year, they held an art supplies drive and donated the supplies to help The Shack's mission.

All are invited to attend and to enjoy a cotton candy and snow cone in the warm September sun! Come fly airplanes with Chi Omega, get your tarot cards read by yours truly, and toss the old pigskin with Alpha Omicron Pi.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
