10 Ways College Girls Fake Having Their Sh*t Together

Sometimes I prefer sweats to little black dresses, and that's okay. I totally have my life together (not).

I'm a lazy girl. When I say lazy, I mean lazy to the point where I sit around in the same pair of pajamas for days at a time, binge watching Stranger Things when in reality I should be doing laundry, school work, or hell ANYTHING other than what I'm doing to procrastinate.

With time, however, I have come to find that all of us have a lazy side and that we really are just faking it until we can make it back to our beds to do a lot more of the nothing we were trying to do before we decided that it was a good idea to leave the house. Life is better when you accept that you're not alone in your laziness.


1. Accepting your bed-head

Bless whoever decided that messy buns were a fashion statement. Throw it up and you'll know for certain that your hair is going to stay in place all damn day. Literally, anyone looks good in a messy bun.

2. Re-wearing that shirt you slept in last night.

If it's comfy I'm going to wear the hell out of it. Bonus points if it's oversized and slouchy. Negative bonus points if you spill your coffee on it.

3. Caffeine, caffeine, oh sweet caffeine.

Look alive, sunshine. We all know that this is the ultimate secret to our half-awake selves so early in the morning. Caffeine is our fuel, the love of our life, and most notably our better half.

4. Make your damn bed

Your bed takes up the most space in your room, at the very least just pull your comforter over your messy sheets so that it looks like the majority of your room is clean.

5. Cute Decor

Keep a cute, low-maintenance succulent or cactus next to your bed to show that not only do you have a cute horticulturalist side, but that you are hip to all things minimalist. Fairy lights wouldn't hurt, either.

6. Match your bra and underwear

Deep down inside you'll know that you're the queen of having your shit together. Is there anything that makes you feel more fancy than wearing a matching set?

7. Serious Instagram captions

Throw a deep Rumi quote under that fierce selfie you took a few weeks ago where you looked fierce as hell to let people know that not only are you culturally refined but that you totally aren't sitting on your couch hours deep into a Netflix binge shoveling Cheetos into your mouth.

8. Carry around a planner

Pretend like you have a super busy schedule by telling people that you'll have to check your schedule to see if you can work them into your life. Whip our your planner and his them with a "let me see if I can pencil you in then."

9. Set the mood

Play some music to set the mood while also showing how bomb your taste in music is. Slap a record on the platter or even find a chill Spotify playlist. Might I suggest Afternoon Acoustic.

10. Don't give a damn

You do you, boo boo. Don't worry about what other's think and bask in the glory of your lazy glow. Go on with your fabulous self.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
