We all know that the beloved holiday, Valentine's Day, is approaching. However, not all of us have a special someone to surprise us with flowers and chocolates on this special day. So, in honor of Valentine's Day, allow me to give you guys a little advice on choosing the right person so that next year's big day is one to remember.

Find you somebody who...

1. knows the difference between their, there, and they're.

If you're anything like me, this is a definite pet peeve. So, when the next person comes around, let it be known that they're gonna miss their chance if they sit there and confuse these words.

2. converses instead of "conversates".

We all know that communication is a key element in building a solid foundation with a potential boo. However, if they'd rather "conversate" instead of "converse," understand that there isn't much knowledge being brought to the table. #AintTheOne

3. bathes.

This is self-explanatory... If your potential boo has never seen soap and water, you might want to reconsider. Just sayin.

4. has a plan.

Remember that they don't have to have it all together when they meet you. But, what they should have is a realistic plan accompanied by a timeline and a few steps that they've already completed.

and finally... Find you someone who...

5. doesn't eat coleslaw.

If you're an avid reader of my articles, you know that I strongly believe that people who eat coleslaw can't be trusted. So, if your potential boo eats coleslaw, they just might cheat on you. Don't say I didn't warn you.

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.
