10 Things Girls Say VS What they Actually Mean

As a fellow female, I can vouch for all of us when I point out that not everything we say should be taken exactly as it was spoken. Confusing, I know. In our mind--most likely somewhere in between scheduling our work plan, answering texts, and making phone calls, what we think can be lost in the translation of what actually comes out of our mouths. Maybe its a blessing, maybe its a curse.

1. "It's whatever"

What it really means: no, actually its not whatever. Its nowhere near whatever. She's probably got a much more definitive answer strategically planned out in her head, but due to the circumstances she will try not to be too high maintenance and play it safe with just that statement.

2. "I'm not really that hungry"

What it really means: Ask me if I want food in another 10 minutes, and I will most likely say that I am very hungry.

3. "I'm dying"

What it really means: something she saw, did, or witnessed is actually really funny--to the point where she's laughed so hard she may actually die.

4. "RT"

What it really means: I agree

5. "Yeah, he seems really nice"

What it really means: she's not really sure if she's interested in him, however she am not opposed to being around him.

6. "Do you think he's cute?"

What it really means: she's not sure if she has a weird taste in men, or if the guy she's looking at is actually attractive. *or* she's intoxicated and can't seem to make that judgement without the support of her fellow intoxicated friends.

7. "fine"

What it really means: nothings fine. Apologize until she begins to tell you what is actually bothering her. AKA get ready for an argument.

8. "Do I look fat in this?"

What it really means: She hasn't hit the gym in weeks, and has had pizza more than three times this week, but still wants to look cute.

9. "I'll be ready in 2 minutes"

What it really means: Do you mind waiting another 30 minutes, I haven't even done my hair yet.

10. "I have nothing to wear"

What it really means: she hasn't done laundry in weeks, she's searched through her closet several times, and has still come up empty-handed. Meaning, she is going to need to borrow something from someone ASAP.

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.
