The Bachelorette ABC

It’s "Bachelorette" season! Get ready for tears, hot men, cheesy dates, and most of all, jacuzzi’s. After getting her heart broken by Lyin’ Ben, JoJo Fletcher is returning to the Bachelor mansion in search of a ring in "The Bachlorette."

After a day of stalking researching the 26 men vying for JoJo’s heart, here is everything you should know about them!

Alex, 25

Alex currently serves in the Marines and let’s be honest, that’s incredibly swoon-worthy. He’s an all-around guy who describes himself as being laid back, self-motivated, and even saved someone from a burning car. He also has a twin brother, which realistically is sort of a buy one, get one free deal for JoJo.

Ali, 27

Ali is a bartender from California who describes himself as a party-starter with a laid-back attitude. To him, marriage means a “partnership in life, with limitless love and passion.” Plus, he surfs, plays the piano, and owns the most adorable dog named Hudson! Swoon.

Brandon, 28

With an occupation like hipster, Brandon clearly isn’t going anywhere. He makes up for it by describing his mother as the person he loves most in the world and describing his biggest date fear as being so attracted to a girl, he can’t be himself. I relate. He may not be a stunner, but Brandon definitely has some redeeming qualities.

Chad, 28

Chad is a luxury real estate agent from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was formerly in the Marines and is incredibly attractive. Unfortunately, he ruins it by being self-absorbed. When asked what his greatest achievement was, Chad answered with “being born good looking.” Yeah, I’ll pass.

Chase, 27

Chase is the literal embodiment of an All-American guy. He’s honest, ambitious, and looks up to his dad. He drives a truck, has an adorable little nephew, and a puppy named Hammer. He has a sense of humor and a serious love for lions. When asked what marriage means to him, he describes it as "One girl, one commitment-- for the rest of forever.” Chase…please take me away.

Insta: CMKNUST

Daniel, 31

Daniel is a male model, which isn’t surprising since he sports an amazing bod. Unfortunately, Daniel also knows he has a great bod and as such, uses the Lamborghini as a reference when describing himself. When asked if he had any tattoos, he replied with “No – same reason you don’t put stickers on a lambo.” Yeah, no, thank you.

Derek, 29

Derek is a commercial banker. The most outrageous thing he’s done is drunkenly skinny-dip in the ocean when sharks were active. He has a fear of fluffy kittens and cucumbers, but we can overlook that due to his amazing singing voice!

Evan, 33

Evan. Wow. I don’t know how to take this guy. He’s an erectile dysfunction expert who loves booty dancing and apparently is very in tune with his sexual energy. He also has relationship deal-breakers that include girls who talk too much, have serious food allergies, and have chipped nails. Pass.

Insta: theebass

Grant, 27

Grant is a firefighter by day and model by night from California. Honestly, this man could save me from a burning building any day. He describes his best attribute as being good at making people smile. He seems great until you scroll down his Instagram and realize he still has pictures up of his ex. What’s up with that, Grant?

Insta: grant_kemp

Jake, 27

Jake is a landscape architect from California. In five years, he sees himself married to JoJo with a kid. He seems nice but he will definitely fade into the background this season.

Jonathan, 29

Jon is a technical sales rep from Vancouver. He has a beautiful little niece who he adores and believes his best attributes include his sense of humor, calm demeanor, and hair. Like Grant, he also has pictures of his ex on Insta, but in his defense, he barely updates.

Jordan, 27

Jordan is probably the most known contestant so far. He was a former professional quarterback and is the brother of NFL star Aaron Rodgers. He definitely has a sense of humor and admires his grandparents. Keep an eye on this one, he'll go pretty far.

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.
