If you know me, you know that I love my car! When it came time for me to choose a car, I was really open to anything with 4 wheels, an engine, and a little reliability. I will always be the first to say that I know absolutely nothing about cars. When we found that little black Volkswagen Beetle, I knew that was my car.

Affectionately known as the "Diesbug" or "Stella", my little black bug has driven me all over the place. So, here are 12 confessions of a VW Bug Driver.

1. You feel a connection with everyone else who drives a bug.

As funny as it sounds, whenever you see some else driving around in a VW Beetle, you just want to honk at them and be friends because they are obviously a cool person.

2. You've been asked if your engine is in the back countless times.

No, Volkswagon has evolved quite a bit since 1938. The engine is in the front where it belongs. It doesn't run on diesel fuel anymore!

3. Everything is more expensive.

Though car troubles don't happen very often, you can be sure that when they do, you'll be dropping quite a bit of cash to get it fixed. Volkswagen parts are expensive little things, but you love your car. It's obviously okay.

4. It makes you secretly very happy inside when you see people slug each other when you drive by.

It's both hilarious and satisfying at the same time. Hopefully, nobody gets punched too hard!

5. People always think you're driving slow.

People obviously pass you just because you're driving a Bug, and for some reason, they find the need to pass you because it's manly. Of course, especially when you start to pass them and they just sped up so you can't.

6. "You drive a Bug?!"

Whenever you give someone a ride for the first time they will inevitably have some sort of reaction to your car.

7. Your car represents your personality.

You definitely chose your car because part of your personality is represented by it. You are probably a pretty fun and smiley person!

8. Steep parking lot entrances are your nightmare.

That horrid scraping noise? Yeah, it scares the crap out of you. Why in the world does anyone think that's a good idea?!

9. You love that your car has a history.

You can't deny it. You love that your car has a story behind it. Even if it isn't your car specifically, you love the idea that your car evolved from something with so much history.

10. It's small but mighty.

Contrary to popular belief, this little car packs a punch! I'm not a car person by any means but I do know that my bug is a powerful little car.

11. You're proud of your flower vase.

That's right, who else can say that they have a vase in their car? No matter how goofy and cheesy it may be, you know your car just wouldn't be the same without it. Your flower shows even more of your creativity and personality too!

12. You love your little car.

No matter how many people pick fun at your car, you know they're just jealous. You can't imagine driving anything else!

That little car has become a part of my identity and I am so thankful that I have it. My trusty little car has driven me thousands of miles and I don't even want to imagine the day that I will have to say goodbye. We've got lots of road trips and memories to make before that happens, though!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
