14 Things Every Girl Really Wants For Valentine's Day
unknown

1. Flowers

It is cliche, but nothing beats a single rose. Red, white, blue, black, it doesnā€™t matter. You donā€™t even have to buy them, pick them from a neighbors garden. Sheā€™ll appreciate the thought.

2. Chocolate

You can NEVER go wrong with chocolate. NEVER. Well, unless she is allergic. Then donā€™t get her chocolate. She might die.

3. Dinner date

Whether it is take-out, a sit-in place, McDonaldā€™s, or a home-cooked (slightly burnt) meal, she will love the thought and the time you put into it. But order pizza just in case you canā€™t make that lasagna.

4. Homemade gift

Paint a canvas. Carve some wood. Make her a jewelry box. Paint a paint-by-numbers. It doesnā€™t have to be all hearts and love, but it can be something homemade. When you take the time to do something with your hands, she sees the time, effort, thought, and most of all love.

5. You to plan a date night

Not just dinner, but maybe a trip to the zoo. Donā€™t ask her what she wants to do, you choose. Because nothing is sweeter than a guy who knows what we like and is willing to try to figure it out if they donā€™t know.

6. Personal time with you

Donā€™t have a lot of money? Rent a dollar movie or netflix and chill. You donā€™t necessarily need to buy food. Get in the kitchen together and bake dinner and cookies. I am sure your mom would lend you her kitchen.

7. Movies to watch together

Most places have a video store or a redbox, grab a few that you and her want to see and watch them. Maybe youā€™d rather see the new XXX, so take her. The movies, whether at home or in the theater, are fun and can make for a night of relaxation and time together.

8. To go see Fifty Shades Darker

Yea, most of us want to go see this movie, so, take us. Hint hint to my own love. It is a ā€œromanceā€, but it may just get you some romance. ;)

9. Go somewhere different

Maybe instead of staying at home, rent a room in a higher end hotel with the good breakfast in the morning and a beautiful king-sized bed and on demand. Sometimes a night away is as good as it gets.

10. Go on a roadtrip

Get in the car and drive. Sleep in the back and just go. Of course this takes some planning, money, and time, but if done right, you will have a great time. Maybe you have a girl that likes to camp, so take her. Maybe she likes the luxuries of life, so go to a place she has never been. Maybe she really wants to see an attraction a few states over, take her.

11. Shopping

Some girls live for the mall, maybe you have to sit in shops for hours, but at the end, she will be relaxed and happy. Isnā€™t that all you could ever want?

12. A play or musical

She may be into plays or musicals, so see what the local theaters got going on, it may even be something that sounds interesting to you. Maybe you go to one that is a little pricey, but hey, it doesnā€™t matter. The fact that you thought of it does, though.

13. A puppy or kitten (or both)

This is for those of us who live together and have the time and energy and are in the right place for animals. But a puppy and or a kitten is a good way to move forward in your relationship and show her you are committed to her.

14. Your time

Nothing is better than your time. Nothing. This list has a variety of things and some take money, others take a lot of money, some take nothing, others take a lot of planning. But the one thing they all have in common is your time. They all take time. Whatā€™s that telling you?

She just wants your 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 clichƩs, 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 donā€™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. Donā€™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 youā€™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. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™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.
