Have you ever looked at yourself and was like wow, I'm pretty awesome! Narcissism and excessive self-love is a huge problem within us today. You may think you have confidence but there is a big difference between confidence and overconfidence.

1. When you believe you’re always right.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to prove someone wrong or tell them off but when you have an invalid argument and keep saying you are correct it just makes you look bad.

2. When you constantly post about yourself on social media.

I’m sorry, but people can handle so much of your “amazing life." It kind of gets annoying.

3. Checking yourself out 24/7.

You may not realize you are doing this but I guarantee you, everyone else does.

4. Always talking about yourself.

Come on now, can someone else please get a word in.

5. Being loud and proud.

We need to repeat this a second time, there is a difference between being confident and cocky.

6. When you put people down.

Telling people they are not good enough to bring their self-esteem down so you can have an ego boost is not okay.

7. When you try to make themselves look good in any circumstance.

You try to perceive yourself as better than who you really are.

8. Appearance means everything.

Come on now, does it really matter how “hot” you are all the time?

9. No bad pictures on social media.

You can’t let anyone know you have bad and ugly days.

10. Excuses, excuses.

When you make excuses for everything. People will catch on.

11. When you are obsessed with power.

Being a leader is great and all but being a leader just to get people under your wing will get people to dislike you, for sure.

12. The blame game.

You don’t think you did anything wrong because you’re always right.

13. Selfie is life!

Enough said.

14. When you feel under appreciated by the people who love you most.

They have a reason for loving you. Appreciate that!

15. Instead of listening, you either interrupt or wait until it’s your turn to speak.

Not everyone wants to hear about you, please give someone else a chance to speak.

Although these 15 signs may sound a little harsh, narcissism is a huge problem today. I hope everyone has the courage to step out of this "disease" and realize you shouldn't be this kind of person. I know I have!

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.
