Stars of “The Lego Movie”
The Morning Wood’s lifestyle section loves a good list, so here is a list of our best lists from recent months.
69. In at number 69 is Mikayla Silcox’s article “Spread the Love by spending Valentine’s Day in Chestertown.”
While Chestertown is only three square miles, the article does a great job at detailing where students can spend time with their significant others. The number of businesses in Chestertown is limited — the Venn diagram for where students can go on dates and where they can go alone is basically a circle — but the articles gives a great overview of places to go to fit any student’s tastes.
42. Number 42 on our list is Lifestyle Editor Liv Barry’s article, “Too cold to leave the dorm in anything besides sweatpants? Here’s how to return to winter classes in style.”
It is a helpful run down on how to be fashionable on dreary wintery days when we want to reach for our comfy clothes, which often tend to be sweatpants.
Despite Barry’s efforts, however, college students will be college students. The season of puffer jackets and sweatpants might be over, but do not worry — it is almost time for students to break out the athletic shorts and flip-flops combo.
50. Coming in at number 50 is “Struggling to find style inspiration? Try these three looks from New York Fashion Week” by Lifestyle Editor Liv Barry.
This season’s highlights were loud patterns, silk and menswear. Essential pieces included floral designs, varsity jackets and slip dresses.
Her predictions were fine, but few could guess the true fashion trend that swept the fall and winter: the Big Red Boots. Skipping this crucial, fashion moment was a swing and a miss for lifestyle.
15. Number 15 on the ranking is Mikayla Silcox’s “Stuck in Chestertown: how to make the most of spring break on campus.”
Silcox had you covered with a list of activities you could do in Chestertown such as eating your way through the menu at Play It Again Sam’s, visiting the furry friends at the Cat Colloquium, getting your creative juices flowing at the Chester RiverArts or enjoying a picnic in the Spring weather in Fountain Park.
The best activity students who stayed on campus over break could partake in was keeping up with incessant emails about the campus-wide network outage, but who could predict that?
21. Twenty first on our list is “Rest and Relaxation: Eight Key Tips on How to Deal with Stress After Midterms” by Siobhan Elizabeth Ball.
Midterms often make students feel overwhelmed and burnt-out. This article focuses on how to manage your feelings at this crucial point in the semester, including getting organized, prioritizing sleep, taking time for self-care, and speaking out if you need help.
Remember: burnout is temporary, but the crushing weight of the adult world is forever. Why waste your time on burning out when you can just reject all of your collegiate responsibilities and re-enroll in first grade?
2. Last but not least is Faith Molitor’s article, “Navigating your nerves during internship interviews: quick tips for the road.”
Whether you are a freshman or a senior, spring semester is overwhelming when it comes to starting your summer plans. Internships are a great way to dip your toes into the professional world whilst at college to expand on what you have learnt in the classroom.
Our advice for securing a summer internship? Do not make connections. Do not smile. Turn in your application late. Write your resumé in wingdings. Good luck!
