When you come close to your college graduation, you're going to get a lot of questions, like, "What do you plan on doing once you graduate?" or "Have you applied for any jobs yet?" My personal favorite is "Why don't you have a husband?"

One thing I've been preaching for the last year is that at 21 years old, I don't have to have any of that figured out. Here are 5 reasons why according to "Deadpool."

1. You've only lived about a fourth of your life.

At 21 (or 22 depending on your birthday), you've only lived a fourth of your life-expectancy. There's no way you're going to have your entire life and entire career planned out.

2. People change.

You are not going to be the same person in 10 years that you are right now in college. Embrace your youth.

3. You haven't experienced everything yet.

There are places you haven't seen, people you haven't met, food you haven't eaten. Why settle down at a desk now? Travel the world. Experience everything!

4. Getting a ring by spring is not a priority.

You have plenty of time to find your significant other. When you search and search for them, it usually takes even longer to find them. So experience life, stop searching and wait for your life partner to find you.

5. Having life figured out and sitting at a dead-end job is boring.

You don't want to be 20-something in a dead-end job chained to your desk all day with a burning wanderlust. You will make yourself miserable.


Now, I'm not saying you should move back into your parents' basement and bum off mom. You should definitely support yourself, but if that means living in a tiny apartment and working a random job, so be it. Just be a happy 21 (or 22)-year-old. Live your life. Experience the world around you. There's always plenty of time for settling down.

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.
