10 Signs You've Got Baby Fever

That moment when you find yourself watching the cutest baby doing something totally normal, you need to immediately check yourself for baby fever. Here are some major signs that you may have baby fever.

1. Dog vs. Baby

A dog and a baby are in the same room, but you're completely in awe of the baby while the dog does something equally cute. You might have baby fever.

2. Baby Clothes

You often wander into the baby clothes section "just because", and you may or may not have considered buying baby clothes and hoarding them until the time comes.

3. Take Your Child To Work Day

Also known as the day you pay not attention to the lesson, but instead stare at his/her cute toddler while the professor teaches.

4. Babysitting 

You love babysitting because it's total mommy (or daddy!) practice.

5. Baby Voice

You've perfected your baby voice -- the one you use when 'talking" to infants. You know the one--don't pretend like you don't.

6. Baby Names

You've already got the names picked out. In fact, you have several names picked out and will narrow down the list when the time comes.

7. Vicariously Living Through Someone Expecting

When someone you know is expecting, you are with them the whole way through...on Facebook...by stalking every picture they post.

8. Like Mother, Like Baby

You see a baby that kinda looks like you, you start to wonder what your child is going to look like.

9. Mother's Instinct


While other people hand a baby back because it needs to be changed or cries, you embrace it and try to help.

10. Buying Adult Versions Of Children's' Items

You start buying yourself baby things in grown-up version like adult onesies and sippy cups because they remind you of babies.

If you have these symptoms, you've caught the fever!

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?
