The Best Laid Plans
I have always been a planner. I know what I want and I take the steps to get it. Time-management is my forte. I plan my weekends to maximize studying, I plan my next semester’s classes over a month in advance of the registration window, I plan my long-term future--...
To Take 101, or Not to Take 101–That is the Question
“Get all of your gen eds out of the way” they’d told me sternly that day (so long ago) when I sat next to the temporary advisor I’d been assigned, “it will be better to focus on your major later on, just get the requirements out of the way.” It sounded logical to me...

The Warrior Hub is located in Maxwell Hall in two departments: Student Enrollment Services on the second floor and the Warrior Success Center on the third floor. Between the two, WSU offers a variety of important services from paying tuition to declaring a major to...

College Confessions: I Miss the Res Halls!
https://youtu.be/Z_DkbQmYTUk Stop! Put down your pens and close your wallets before you sign that off-campus lease. It’s that time of year again when Winona State students are looking for new places to live for the 2020-2021 school year. Most students think...
Ace the ACT
I am going to take a break from my usual theme about student life here at WSU to address something very important—how you get here! The first step is taking the ACT. This is the time of year when most juniors and seniors in High School are looking into taking the ACT...
National Being Yourself Day
I feel like it’s a fairly universal truth in our culture that at some point in our youth someone told us to “just be yourself!” While it’s a fabulous notion in theory, it’s basically meaningless in execution. I’ve always known a few basic facts about myself: I’m sorta...
