To do or not to do, that is the question.

10 Struggles Indecisive People Deal With

By being an indecisive person myself, I was inspired to write the struggles we indecisive people face. Trust me, I did not wish this upon myself; it's a terrible trait to have. Every day we constantly have to make decisions. And for people who suck at making decisions, (cough) indecisive people, the struggle is twice as hard. So please, feel our pain.

1. Going shopping.

The sea of merchandise which makes looking for just one thing to buy nearly impossible. But when you do find something, you can't just buy clothes without trying them on, and then you stare at yourself in the mirror for hours.

2. Making plans.

Deciding whether you should go out with your friends or go to see that movie with your mom kills you. Can you do both? You just hate what making a decision means, which is that the other choice could have possibly been better.

3. Ordering at a restaurant.

Let' be honest ... too many choices, too little time

4. Getting dressed.

Whether you are going out with your friends or going to the library, finding something to wear is overwhelming. Is it rainy? Hot? Cold? Thank god I have roommates to help dress me.

5. Packing a suitcase.

Instead of having to pick and choose what to pack, it is easier to just take your entire closet.

6. Getting your nails done.

Too many times you have told the manicurist you need about five more minutes because you can't decide on a color. Even though you had it planned ahead of time, you second-guess yourself when you see more options. "Ooo maybe a pink? Or what about a nude? Purple?" Meanwhile, your friend is about halfway done with her manicure.

7. Not knowing what to do with yourself in your free time.

Should I clean my room? Maybe I could work out? I could catch up on Netflix? Or maybe I should go hang with some friends? Too many choices and too much freedom, which ultimately leaves you curled up in your bed.

8. Selecting gifts.

One good thing about us indecisive people is that we are very thoughtful. When it comes to choosing a gift, we struggle to choose the right one. It can be hard enough to find a damn card, let alone a gift.

9. Going grocery shopping.

Decisions like choosing what brand of peanut butter to buy can be the most difficult task. "Well, this one is organic. That is probably healthier for you? Or maybe I should just go with Jiffy?" (true story)

10. Instagramming.

Too many filters and too many decisions. Border or no border? #doitforthelikes

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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.
