13 Times Infomercials Blew Our Minds

Now, I don't know about you, but I find infomercials to be very entertaining. If you have at least a semi-sarcastic sense of humor like me, you can find the life lessons hidden within these informercials.

Here are some things that I learned that simply blew my mind:

1) A messy house is a dangerous house.

Hey, you never know when you'll trip over a toy truck and smash right into a glass table. Things happen.

2) Camping with family is the best kind of camping.

Can I get a "what, what?"

3) Wearing the color white during a meal is oftentimes not a good idea:

Even adults know the struggle.

4) Things that come out of boiling water are usually hot:

Sometimes, you just have to learn things the hard way.

5) Carrying approximately 1,000 things at once is not a good idea:

Taking multiple trips from point A to point B sounds like too much work. I know, I know.

6) Beauty isn't pain... it's weirdness:

I have no words.

7) There is no such thing as invading someone's personal space in the name of cleanliness:

Just take out that pocket-sized vacuum and do your thing, you clean freak, you.

8) Cats are obviously the worst:

But we already knew that.

9) Pocket-less pants DO exist:

Darn it. If only there was a thing you could put your phone in that loops over your shoulder in a fashionable manner. Hmm...

10) Storing tupperware isn't as hassle-free as one may think:

11) You can put on deodorant with a blindfold on:

Oh, joy!

12) Curly hair is just comical.

Hair, you silly goose!

13) Cutting a loaf of bread with a door stop will not yield positive results:

Wait . . . I was sure that this is what they're made for.


People say that you learn something new every day, but I say, learn 13 new things TODAY and save yourself some time.

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.
