10 Signs You Are a LOTR Nerd

You can't help it that you get a little absorbed by the J.R.R. Tolkien books. Here are the signs that you are, in fact, obsessed. Intervention may be recommended.

1. You cried at the end of the last hobbit movie.

It was, after all, the end of an era.

2. You are fiercely angry about all the stuff in the movies that aren't in the books.

Who is this Tauriel elf chick anyways?

3. You have figured out your elvish name.

It's probably prettier than your real name.

4. You want to go to New Zealand really badly.

Riding horses across the plains, climbing snowy mountains, men with attractive accents, what more could you want?

5. You speak of Middle Earth as if it were a real place.

You also probably have a mental image of the map and the geography memorized.

6. You've instagrammed one of the LOTR or Hobbit men as your #mcm.

Bard the Bowman? Legolas? Aragorn? Take your pick.

7. You can imitate Gollum really well.

Almost too well. In fact, it kinda freaks people out. 

8. You own the extended editions of all the movies.

You're serious when you say movie marathon.

9. You've reread the books at least twice.

Finish the Return of the King and start all over again with The Hobbit.

10. Best of all, you've played this:

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.

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?
