From the people who are crazy fit, to ones who would rather do horizontal running, everyone has their place. Here are 10 types of people that you always see at the gym.


1. "The Bodybuilder"

People have many names for this person: meathead, Iron Man, The Hulk. This person is crazy jacked. You can usually spot them with protein shakes.

2. "The Talker"

"I do everything BUT workout" person. Whether they are on their phone while on the treadmill or talking to everyone in the gym, they run their mouth more than their legs. They then do a little stretching and go for a massage and facial because that was very exhausting.

3. "That Couple"

Couples that gym together stay together? Not only can they do yoga together and make it look easy, they can do it better than you can by yourself. They always have matching gear and an even higher level of matched intensity.

4. "The Noisy Person"

This person feels the need to let everyone know they are doing a really hard workout by grunting and groaning the whole time. No you are not spiderman, so let's calm down!

5. "The Self-Obsessed Person"

*2 hours in the gym* 1 hour is spent working out and the other is spent standing in front of the mirror!

You will find them by anything shiny where they can find their reflexion. "I think I'm so hot I need to stare at myself in the mirror flexing the whole time."

6. "What are they wearing?"

This person is in either jeans, flip flops or some other item of clothing that says "I don't really know why I'm here or what to do."

7. "The Hog"

The person who hogs the machines because they sit on their phone and text, take selfies, and do everything but actually use the machine.

Apparently this includes falling asleep.

8. "What is sweat?"

The person that never breaks a sweat. They can come in and run for 30 minutes and look the exact same when they're done as when they got on the treadmill.


While the rest of us look like this...


9. "Mr. Abs"


The person that is so fit everyone does this in their heads when they walk in:

10. "The Show Off"

The person who thinks they are really great when actually they look like this and we are all wondering if he's having a seizure or what's going on over there.


No matter what people say they are at the gym for, this is what we all secretly want!

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.

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.
