This morning while I was out for a run I couldn't help but think to myself –– THIS SUCKS. I'm the type of person that makes myself exercise and makes myself go on runs because I have to. Because it's something I feel like I should do. Not because it's something I enjoy. By all means some days I would rather get sprayed by a skunk than go for a run. Ok, that might be an exaggeration but you get the point.

Running sucks and I know I'm not the only person in the world who thinks this. If you're anything like me or Taylor Swift for that matter then you despise running and everything it brings upon you.

Here are 15 thoughts every person who hates running has while running:

1. Is it normal to breathe this heavily?

2. Slow down your pace a little bit, maybe you won't sound like you are dying.

3. Alright, well now I'm walking so I guess we're walking. It's fine.

4. Are those people staring at me?

5. I bet they are laughing because I'm dripping sweat while walking.

6. I am so out of shape.

7. Honestly, does this ever not suck?

8. I bet it sucks forever and those people that tell you they "love" to run are saying it because they are lying to themselves.

9. Picking up the pace now. Just one foot in front of the other.

10. Why is that mom with the newborn in the stroller running faster than me?

11. Push yourself, girl. You'll never get anywhere if you don't.

12. Who am I kidding? I'm not really going far anyway.

13. If you make it to the corner then you can get ice cream for all your hard work.

14. That totally defeats the purpose of this run, but how good does Coldstone sound right now?

15. OK, that's it. I'm going home.

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. 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.
