You just kind of know.

12 Signs You've Found The Right Guy
Paige Dunn

If your guy doesn't live up to these 12 signs, send him packin' because he's not the one for you.

1. You can be yourself around him.

It might take awhile to completely open up, but when you do you're able to do so fully. There's no holding back around him. He's seen you at your worst and he's seen you at your weirdest.

2. He makes you laugh.

I mean, how does a relationship work without laughter? And I'm talking about genuine, belly hurts after you're done, laughter. Whether it's the best inside jokes or he's just being a goof, he never fails to make you laugh.

3. He's patient with you.

He listens to your rants about the latest girl drama, he basically deserves a medal for how long he's waited for you to shop, and he understands just how crazy you can be (especially that certain time of the month).

4. He motivates you.

If your guy isn't your biggest fan, he's doing it wrong. He brags about you and talks you up like no other. He constantly pushes you to be your best self and is your backbone when things get rough.

5. You never have to ask if you look OK because he's always reminding you how smokin' hot you look.

OK, so maybe not necessarily in those terms, but he constantly tells you how perfect you are to him. Even when you think you look like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, he's there to insist you look just gorgeous.

6. Y'all can talk about the future together.

Even if it's lightyears away, you can share your dreams and ambitions with one another for this life. You feel comfortable talking about possible baby names you both like, places you want to live, and just about everything you hope to see in y'all's future because there's no doubt that there will be one.

7. You don't fight much at all.

He's slow to anger and is humble enough to admit when he's wrong. If y'all do fight, it's usually over something petty like what channel to watch.

8. Your happiness is his, and vice versa.

Whenever you see his face light up, yours does too. When you see him talking about something he's passionate about, you become just as excited.

9. You share the same values.

Sorry to break it to you honey, but if y'all are headed down two separate paths there is no merging. While it's OK to have some differences, you should generally be somewhere on the same page or there's gonna be some problems.

10. He doesn't give you much to complain about.

You know those friends that always have some boy drama to vent about? Well, that's not you. You kind of just have to sit there quietly and think to yourself how lucky you are. Sometimes you say the occasional "Oh no he knows better than to do that", but you really just can't relate. He's even living proof that chivalry is not dead.

11. He's your better half, your best friend.

Everything you do in life, you want him right there next to you. And if he's not there, it just doesn't feel right. You'd honestly rather stay in with him instead of going out to hang with girlfriends every night. Whether it's as simple as cooking dinner together or binge watching a show, you just like doing life together.

12. Life has thrown everything possible at your relationship, but something just keeps pulling y'all back together even stronger than before.

I don't know if it's some supernatural force or just fate altogether, but somehow the universe just knows y'all are meant to be. Your love for each other never stops growing despite all the obstacles you might face.

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.
