22 Signs You Are a Tech Nerd
Michael Carpenter

So you think you're a Tech Nerd? Well, if you are a Tech Nerd, here is a list that may help you confirm the already known fact that you are.


1. You probably have a desktop computer and are reading this on it at school.


2. You probably built that desktop yourself and it is you life and soul most of the time (unless it acts up).


3. You have had a stern talking to most of your electronic devices begging them to work or else.



4. You work better than your university's or work's IT department and you just beg people to let you fix their computer because you know you can do it better and faster.



5. Family and Friends are always asking you why their computers or smartphones stopped working.



6. You probably play some incredibly nerdy kind of video game that takes up most of your spare time.





7. You are constantly tinkering with technology trying to fix things and make them better.



8. You are a hoarder of electronics and dealing with your family goes something like this: "Hey mom, please don't throw that 15-year-old computer out. I swear that I will use parts out of it someday.



9. You are totally proud of yourself when you finally do reuse those parts.


10. You are always showing your family how they can better use their smartphones by showing all of those nifty features that you know they will never use.


11. Your Tech Nerd status is not always just on computers it often extends to things like high powered Flashlights and you blind others often.



12. Don't even get me started on lasers.





13. You constantly look for leaks online to what features that new iPhone will have and you actually watch Apple Keynotes.


14. When people cannot understand technology you actually get frustrated.


15. You think that your operating system is obviously the best.

16. People look at you like you are crazy with the amount of money you spend on computer parts.



17. Loved ones try to keep you away from the computer parts store at any cost, but like trying to keep a fat kid away from a candy store it doesn't work.



18. Sometimes going to the computer lab at school aggravates you by how many people use technology.



19. You brag to your other friends by how fast you schools internet is, but you don't mention that you could only get that speed at 3 A.M. when you and 1 other person stayed on campus.


20. You always want the latest and greatest technology.


21. You remind yourself that nerds rule the World.



22. Your wallet will hate you once you buy that new piece of fantastic tech but you know it's worth it.

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.

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.

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.
