I was born and raised in Rhode Island, so I know a thing or two about how crappy this state is.

So, let me join all the haters that insist we're part of New York (even though that's Long Island), and tell you 14 reasons why Rhode Island is the absolute worst, and you should NEVER EVER visit:

1. We call ourselves the Ocean State, but our beaches completely suck!

The beaches in Rhode Island, compared to other states' beaches, have softer sand, better waves, nicer water, and bigger shores, but that means nothing. Or does it mean everything?

2. There's absolutely nothing to do here.

Performing arts not your style? Then I guess you'll have to check out these other things you can do in Rhode Island.

3. We have terrible scenery.

Who wants to look at beautiful sunsets over an ocean and a bridge like this? Me. That's who.

4. Rhode Island is just a bunch of coastline.

You think it's impressive that Rhode Island can fit beaches, suburbs, city, and farm life all in 1,212 square miles? Yeah...me too.

5. Our state is just FULL of boring history.


I mean, Roger Williams coming here was completely pointless. I don't even know why we have a park named after him.

6. There's nowhere good to eat here.

Our restaurants are simply terrible. We lack food quality and decent plate presentation. Not to mention our restaurants have no personality. It's not like we were ranked one of America's Best Cities for Foodies in 2015 or anything.

7. Speaking of eating...our food is terrible.

Whoever came up with these weird food concoctions like Hot Weiners needs to be fired...or promoted! How dare they.

8. And for a state that's supposedly known for its oceans...we don't know how to make seafood.

No one even likes mouth watering lobster or stuffies, clamcakes and chowder from Iggy's, or any of that other seafood stuff, right? Oh, everyone does? My bad.

9. We definitely know nothing about beer.

Listen, no state wants their own delicious beer. So I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here, Lil Rhody.

10. ...Or drinks in general.

.

The feud between Del's Lemonade and coffee milk has got to end...clearly they both taste delicious.

11. The people here hatesports.

We don't support the Red Sox, or their minor league baseball Triple-A affiliate team, at all! That's exactly why everyone goes to their games.

12. There's nothing pretty to look at indoors.

Oh, wait...you consider the inside of the Newport Mansions to be "pretty?" OK...me too.

13. And there's DEFINITELY not anything pretty to look at outdoors.

I mean, water fire is OK I guess.

14. Basically, Rhode Island sucks all around.

No one wants to live here...so don't even think about bringing your friends to visit.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
