We all know that there are really only two types of people: Introverts, and the worst people (also known as extroverts). As introverts, we know all of the world's secrets and we do not want to share them with you because that would mean that we would have to talk to you for longer than the allotted amount of time that we planned for at least twenty-four hours ago. Not only do we actually know the meaning of life, we know that there are a few things that we all have in common as the introverts of the earth, and here they are:

1. We don't enjoy confrontation, especially when it's actually kind of important.


We would prefer to either avoid the situation altogether or send a thoughtfully worded email about the situation if possible.

2. People aren't really our thing.

We can spend absurd amounts of time by ourselves and have more fun than all of you at your stupid house party.

3. We've devised ways to make as little conversation as possible.


If we bump into people that we know, you can generally assume that there's a file stored in our brain called "what to say whenever you bump into someone you know but you don't really want to talk."

4. We also have a plan for whenever you end up in a group of more people than you are interested in being near.

It's literally to just run away as fast as humanly possible.

5. But if we're really forced to make conversation, we typically try to steer it in one direction and one direction alone.

I can't talk to you about my many worldly experiences but I can certainly talk to you about the nine-season series I just finished on Netflix last week.

6. We're not the best about acting cool when forced into social situations.

We would just rather be in bed watching television and laughing at our own jokes.

7. We're pretty comfortable with our lifestyles.

Don't you ever tell us that we need to get out more, because you're wrong.

8. We have one best friend that we go everywhere with, and have forced them to accept that we will be going everywhere with them.

Although they're pretty cool with it because they're the only person we tell our hilarious jokes to.

9. Dating isn't our most successful category.

Which is ridiculous because we are the most lovable people you will ever meet.

10. Despite being awkward and not having the most people skills, we still pretty cool.

Introverts of the world, keep being you.

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.
