10 Times Matt Saracen Created Unrealistic Expectations for Real Life Men

I recently binge watched the five seasons of "Friday Night Lights" and developed a giant crush for the heartthrob, Matt Saracen. He showed us that men can be vulnerable and strong at the same time, and that being caring and kind is not a sign of weakness. Matt Saracen may be just a TV show character, but he set the bar pretty high for the men in my life.

1. When he was just an average, incredibly socially awkward boy with a crush

It took every ounce of his courage to finally speak to Julie Taylor.

2. His love and care for his grandmother

Nothing warmed your heart more, than seeing Matt helping out Mrs. Saracen

3. That time Landry pointed out that Matt's relationship with his grandma would earn him points with the girls... and Matt's response showed his respect towards woman

Landry, get your head out of the gutter


4. When he stepped up to the plate as QB1 for the Dillon Panthers

and he managed to look like an adorable deer in headlights for about 2 full seasons

5. When he wasn't ashamed to show just how much of a dork he truly was

6. When he had his breakdown in front of Coach Taylor

and it was the most heartbreaking moment of vulnerability.

7. Every time that he and Julie were the perfect couple

Number seven on the field, number one in her heart (and ours)

8. When his father passed away

And yet again, vulnerable Matt Saracen somehow made you swoon, even while ugly crying.

9. The time the show ended PERFECTLY

And I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen, but we couldn't have asked for a better ending.

10. Every time he smiled



How could you not fall for that crooked smile.

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.
