There is about one week until Valentine's Day, and you see red and pink anywhere you look. Restaurants are now taking reservations, pizza places are advertising their limited time heart-shaped pizza, and your coupled friends are stressing out about what to get their significant other. The only plans you have so far for this Valentine's Day are probably ordering pizza and binge watching Netflix with all of your single friends. Here are some thoughts that are probably running through your head as you try to survive this week:

1. Wow. Where did all of these couples come from?

They are literally everywhere.

2. Can I still give my friends some Valentine's Day cards?

I hope they like homemade ones.

3. Why did I ever turn that guy down?

Is it too late now to say sorry?

4. What should I do while my friends are all on their dates?

Sing along to Adele. Blast Taylor Swift's music. Eat a box of chocolates. Repeat.

5. Wow. Please stop with the PDA.

It's everywhere you go. At school, at the mall, at restaurants. Sorry, but I don't think there's a way of escaping this part of Valentine's Day.

6. Does anyone actually need a stuffed animal that big?

7. OK, maybe they do.

As my friend would say, it's like a boyfriend but doesn't talk.

8. Maybe my parents will offer to pay for my dinner.


It's still free dinner. Am I right?

9. Better yet, maybe someone will actually ask me out to dinner this year.

No negative attitude here.

10. Actually, I don't care.

I mean, it's their loss.

11. At least chocolates will be on sale next week.

Time to gain 15 pounds!

So if you're alone this Valentine's Day, just remember that you are not the only one. Also, if you do have a date this year, be a good person and bring your leftover dinner food and chocolate home to your single roommate. Or you can be a great friend and buy them dinner and chocolates. Happy February 14th! XOXO

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.
