Let's take a trip back to middle school. A much simpler time. You think you're all that. Life was easy and the only person you couldn't stand was the boy who broke up with you last week. In your free time, you took pictures.

So many pictures.

It is now the year 2018 and these pictures have come back to haunt you. Here are 13 pictures we are all most definitely doing our best to hide from the world.

1. A way-too-close webcam picture.

Usually featuring a strange pose, bad lighting, and way too much eyeliner.

2. A picture from when you bought yourself a crown.

This picture took many shots to get right. Now you wonder why you chose the one where you're not even looking and your black nail polish is chipping.

3. A picture from that app that used a collage of pictures to make shapes.

Look closely and you will pray that this was never posted anywhere.

4. A picture with duck lips AND a peace sign.

This is a lethal combination. It is to be avoided at all costs. If brought back to the surface years later, run. Oh goodness, run away. Hide!

5. An overedited picture with a rainbow filter.


This, once again, features way too much eyeliner, but includes barely being able to actually see your face.

6. A picture of just your eyes.

Super tumblr at the time, but now just embarrassing. There was most definitely an "inspiring quote" below this picture such as, "I keep my eyes wide open." It really wasn't inspiring, just lyrics to a song you liked.

7. A picture making fun of the "popular girls."

Which honestly just became you copying exactly what they do.

8. A picture of you being "flexible."

This picture almost always became your profile picture as a way to show people how athletic you were. It featured a messy background and probably an ugly face which you really hoped people would just ignore.

9. A picture that exemplified the feather trend.

A feather in your hair was all the rage back in the middle school days. As much as you said you wanted to stand out, you definitely followed this trend like a puppy.

10. Another over-edited picture but this one features an "important date."


That date was probably the day your best friend asked a boy to date you and he said yes. You posted this picture eight days later once you had decided this was true love. A month later you hated him.

11. Another super tumblr picture.

This was your profile picture for months even though it didn't even have your face in it.

12. The only surviving picture from your first musical.

You burned the rest, but this one made its way to Facebook. The face paint still haunts you to this day.

13. Finally, the one you know you should be embarrassed about, but you also still think is really cute.

Because c'mon, you were cringey but you still were kinda cute, right?


Obviously, trying to hide these pictures doesn't always help. They're incredibly embarrassing but hey, we all have them. Let's embrace our middle school awkwardness and all laugh about it 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?

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.
