10 Things Bikers Know To Be True
Tarah Moleski

Biking is the best.


1. Biking is fucking awesome, and you're awesome for burning fat and not burning gas.

Heck yeah, you know it.

2. When you can bike without using your hands, it feels like you're flying.

At least, that's how I feel anyway...

3. Biking in the rain is mostly crappy but can be sort of fun.

If you have nowhere to be, and you can easily go home and dry off, that's what makes it doable. Oh also if you aren't riding in a storm.

4. It feels good to get in exercise daily.

If you bike to and from school or more-BAM there's some nice exercise for the day.

5. Biking is therapeutic.

Put in some headphones day or night, hit the road and you're outta sight. So nice.

6. Passing cars makes you feel cool.

You may or may not get to your destination faster than someone in a car, but when there's traffic it sure does make ya feel good.

7. You hate when the car in front of you doesn't use their blinker.

Everyone should just really use their blinker.... or hand signals.

8. When you pass by another biker, you get that inclusive nod, wave or smile.

Makes it all worth it.

9. It's really rad to use your body to propel yourself forward.

You are literally getting yourself from point A to B! How cool!

10. Night bike rides are the best, hands down.

If you haven't done this yet, this is something that's needed. I live in small, college town where the kids leave for breaks and that's the best time to do it. When no one else is out. With front and back lights too of course.


Thanks for reading!! Get on your bike and ride!

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.
