15 Common Yet Unique Obsessions Everyone Has
Fabrizio Verrecchia

We all tend to know some people with some weird or cool, yet, unique obsessions. Here are 15 Common obsessions that you, your family, and the rest of the world have.

1. Lipstick

I may or may not own 30 shades of pink lipstick. My love for lipstick started from who knows where. All I know is that a girl can never have too many shades. With all of the new makeup ideas prospering out in the world, I'm only obligated to make sure I try out hot pink in matte, gloss, creme, and shimmer.

2. Bobby Pins

I don't know about you, but I tend to walk around with at least 10-15 bobby pins in my hair on a typical day. Let's not even talk about if I'm intentionally trying to make my hair look good. If you take a look hard enough at anywhere I sleep, I guarantee there is a bobby pin nearby. Forget hair clips and headbands, the bobby pins are where it's at.

3. Sharpies

What's not to love? The look, the smell, the taste (just joking), but really, who doesn't love a nice crisp, colorful permanent marker?

4. Nail Biting

We all know that one person who can't seem to ever grow out their nails. If you're like me, you constantly get the wonderful view of finger nubs, sharp and pointy fingernails, and the lovely taste of bite-proof nail polish in your mouth.

5. Checking The Time At Work Or School Repeatedly.

Now everyone is guilty of this one. I don't care who you are-- young, old, happy, sad, male, or female, you are guilty of looking at the clock every three minutes. You were most likely hoping that 20 minutes had passed by. Well sorry to break it to you, but it's not your lucky day.

6. Food

If you're like me, then you looovveee to eat. As much as you try to resist, if a yummy cheesecake was placed in front of you right now, would you deny a piece(If your answer to this is yes, then smack yourself, better yet, 'cash me ousside')?

7. Checking Your Facebook Feed Every Five Minutes.

Similar to looking at the clock 5000 times a day, just because you refresh your feed every two seconds after going through it all doesn't mean that the content has changed. Sorry bud, maybe try Instagram next?

8. Your Bed And Sleeping

I suppose that you don't want to be in bed as much when you are older, so this is for the younger ones! Live it up, as in, go to sleep, now. Why not beat some sleeping world record while you're at it?

9. Binging On Netflix

Binge watching was originally a summer thing for me. Since being in college though, I've gone through more seasons of television than I ever did in high school. Netflix over studying = Great life choices.

10. Snapchat Filters

I have a love/ hate relationship with Snapchat filters. What's not to love about the funny face swapping but pure hate towards the puppy filter. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. It's easy to spend a couple chunks of time trying to find the perfect angle in your Snapchat photos.

11. Music

This very common one is universal across the world. "If music be the food of love, play on."

~ William Shakespeare

Enough said.

12. Video Games

I'm not going to lie I was obsessed with the game "Fallout 4" for a while. I was so comfortable to spend my free time building my mansion while killing an army of raiders. Video games will always be close to my heart. I love my Xbox One.

13. Organization

Organization is a key factor to life in my opinion. Without organization, I'd probably lose 90% of the things I buy. No one wants to spend weeks searching for a game because you forgot you threw it in the hamper.

14. Name Brands

I'm not one of these people, but some people are absolutely obsessed with name brand clothing. Maybe not you, but I find it a waste of money to pass up a cheaper version of an outfit and still rock than wear something Louis Vuitton.

15. Money

And last but not least, the money. This will be an obsession forever in many people lives, sadly. Shave an eyebrow off for free tuition, you said? Okay!

So, you may not connect to everyone of these obsessions, but I agree that you know someone with these obsessions. No judgment here; obsess on!

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.

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.
