13 Signs You're Dating A Car Guy

1. He fixes your car.

This part is fabulous. Instead of going to a mechanic who is going to overcharge you, have your guy look it over. He can probably fix it — heck, he might even do it for free!

2. You have seen all the "Fast & Furious" movies.


There are literally like ten different movies — something bad happens and this group of fast-driving friends end up saving someone and the world. No one really follows the story, they just like looking at the car. Thank goodness that Paul Walker is cute.

3. You get to your destinations faster.


Most car guys have a lead foot to begin with, but if you are driving in your guys boosted vehicle...best believe you are getting there faster than the average joe.

4. You know all the specs of your guy's dream car.


A romantic night to these guys is snuggling in bed watching car videos on Youtube. I've done my fair share of this and eventually, you do learn some stuff about cars.

5. You're basically a mechanic.


You have been around for all the work that he has done on his car that you could basically do the job yourself. I've seen radiators changed, multiple car stereos put in, water-pumps, multiple compression tests, a supercharger put in, and multiple oil changes...I'm pretty much a mechanic at this point.

6. You learn new things all the time about cars.


Because you are forced to partake in the madness that is his dream car, you learn a lot of stuff, too. A couple years ago, I wouldn't have known the difference between a turbo and a supercharger. Also, did you know that some cars are illegal in the U.S. until they are 25 years old? Weird, huh?

7. You find yourself in the middle of highway races with strangers.

You guys are just minding your own business when your guy gets a devilish look in his eye, looking in the rear-view-mirror. You know what is about to happen and nothing you say can stop it. Your guy's inner speed-racer cannot be tamed.

8. You catch yourself turning your head when a nice car drives by.


With all that time spent on cars, you can appreciate a nice car when you see one.

9. You find yourself tagging your guy in car photos/memes more than you care to admit.


Somehow, a bunch of modified car pages show up on your Facebook now and you just feel the need to share them with your guy.

10. You find yourself secretly wishing you had a show-worthy car.


You see the way his eyes light up when he talks about his car with other people and you want that, too. Plus you look at so many different car photos, you know which one you want to drive around. Hey, if he can spend all that money on a car, why can't you?

11. You go to car shows more than you go out on dates.


This is kind of sad, but if he buys you food at the car show, does that count as a date?

12. They will do anything to get their car to maximum power.


Who knew car parts could be so expensive or you would have taken stock out in it?!

13. Although you say you hate your guy's car...you secretly love it.

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.

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.
