In This Article:

The majority of the states in the United States are completely boring and irrelevant. Trying to imagine somebody actually living there gives me the creeps, let alone somebody actually trying to do something fun like a date there...

Each state comes with its crazy stereotypes, including what couples likely do for a date in that state. While some of them may seem harsh, they're all surprisingly true.

Alabama

I imagine the ideal date in Alabama being people sitting on their front porches wearing plaid shirts and overalls absolutely devouring some fried chicken and a side of corn on the cob.

Alaska

The only possible date option in this state would be to completely freeze your ass off climbing a mountain or something. Sounds miserable, but it is cuddle weather, I guess.

Arizona

There is absolutely nothing to do in this state besides be miserably hot and sweaty. A cute date idea might be sitting in the middle of the desert and seeing who sweats more and passes out first.

Arkansas

Arkansas has got to be the most boring and irrelevant state of all time. There is literally nothing there besides crazy amounts of fields and prisons. My ideal Arkansas date would be star tipping in a giant field for hours since I literally can't think of one other thing to do.

California

The perfect California date is definitely living out the dream of being a famous YouTuber someday and making your significant other film a painfully awkward Boyfriend Tag video.

Colorado

All there is to do is smoke weed and visit the mountains so that's gotta be what every single person does on a date.

Connecticut

I can't think of anything there is to do in Connecticut itself but it's decently close to a lot of actually relevant places like NYC, Baltimore, D.C., and Boston so maybe just take a roadie there and plan a date in a state that has a decent city.

Delaware

Delaware is the puniest state of all time with barely anything in it. A cute date idea is drag racing each other from one side of the state to the other (and then doing it another 10 times because the state is so small doing it once would only take about 10 minutes).

Florida

Take advantage of the fact that Florida is flooded with million of tourists who are extremely easy targets to pull pranks on. Pranking tourists? Sounds like a viable first option to me.

Georgia

Nothing in Georgia seems of any importance except for peaches. I guess a nice date might be picking peaches for like, three hours straight.

Hawaii 

Hawaii is actually pretty dope if you don't consider the fact that it's swamped with tourists and everything is extremely far away from each other. I imagine every person from Hawaii being extremely fit and seeing who can swim to the next island faster and calling that a date.

Idaho

Imagine bringing your date home and carving a potato together as if it were a pumpkin!? So goals.

Illinois

Unless you live in Chicago, there's pretty much NOTHING to do in Illinois. I guess if you really have to impress your date, take them to Chicago. Or if you live in the Southern part of the state (in which case, I'm very sorry), then make a trip to St. Louis.

Indiana

Indiana doesn't get the credit that it deserves for being the most boring and longest and subtly-redneck state of all time. On the plus side, Indiana does have a million restaurants, so that's gotta be what every person in this horrible state does on their dates.

Iowa

I was literally so stumped on what there possibly is to do in Iowa so I had to Google it. Turns out, there's not much. But there is Adventureland Park and everyone loves waterslides so it must be a date hotspot.

Kansas

Kansas people seem to love storm chasing and I imagine that they love it so much that they want to bring their bae with them on a date to see a gnarly twister.

Kentucky

Everybody in Kentucky literally just dates their cousin so isn't every family reunion a date?

Louisiana

The fact that Louisiana is literally just one giant swamp means there's only one date option: wrestling gators together.

Maine

The only cool part of Maine is the coast so if you aren't fortunate enough to live there, guess you can have a picnic date in the forest because that's basically all Maine is. A forest.

Maryland

A typical Maryland date has got to be going to D.C. Not only are some museums free, but it gives you a valid reason to get out of this horribly boring state.

Massachusetts

Massachusetts is literally the dirtiest, nastiest state in the world. A cute date would be going to a suburb and picking up trash since it's literally everywhere and Massachusetts people hate the earth.

Michigan

There is absolutely nothing noteworthy about Michigan besides the fact that it snows... a lot. So that's it, if you want to have a date in Michigan you're going to have to wait until it snows so you can build a snowman and drink hot cocoa after.

Minnesota

All people in Minnesota care about is hockey, so every date must be playing a quick game of pond hockey against each other. Fun... I think?

Mississippi

The Mississippi River actually seems pretty cool considering that Mississippi is the most redneck, irrelevant state of all times. Date idea: go tubing down the Mississippi.

Missouri

It isn't nickname "Misery" for nothing. Even dates seem miserable considering that all there is to do here is look at the lakes and things at the parks that seem to consume this state.

Montana

Nothing seems relevant about this state and no matter how old I get, the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Montana is "Hannah Montana." Every date in Montana likely revolves around either bingewatching the entire series or listening to the soundtrack in the car since she made the state relevant in the first place.

Nebraska

Since there's literally nine people total that live in this state, once you actually find someone to date you likely spend a night on the town looking for other humans and playing a real life version of Where's Waldo.

Nevada

Everything about Nevada seems absolutely miserable and hot and sticky. If I was ever on a date in Nevada and it didn't involve swimming or being in water in some way, I don't want it.

New Hampshire

The epitome of a fun date in such a boring state has got be going for a drive late at night and attempting to not crash into the moose that seem to be everywhere here.

New Jersey

I can't believe that the show "Jersey Shore" invented people caring about New Jersey. The only way to do a date in New Jersey at all would have to be being absolute white trash at the Jersey Shore.

New Mexico

New Mexico seems completely dumb besides for the fact that it's close to Mexico and Mexican food is really really good. My ideal date in New Mexico would be eating hella tacos together. How yummy and regionally appropriate.

New York

There are two cool places in New York: Niagara Falls and New York City. Assuming you don't already live in these two places, you'll definitely have to drive all the way there for a decent and effortless date where all you have to do is simply be there and walk around to have endless date opportunities.

North Carolina

North Carolina is actually a pretty cool state, especially if you're into camping. All other dates are cancelled, camping it is.

North Dakota

Everything in North Dakota seems very historical and presidential... hopefully everyone in this state is into history (which, I feel like you have to to live there), because I imagine everyone goes on dates that involve visiting the historical sites in the state.

Ohio

Everyone in Ohio is literally weird and awkward so imagining these people dating seems really really disturbing. If I was going on a date in Ohio I'd probably want to go to Cedar Point, so hopefully these awkward people can figure out that that's the move.

Oklahoma

If you ask anyone I'm pretty sure that there is one thing we can all agree on: Oklahoma is a whole lot of nothing. That's kinda what a date in Oklahoma probably is, literally doing nothing other than rocking on front porch rocking chairs.

Oregon

I've seen a million pictures of couples in Oregon jumping off waterfalls so I'm pretty sure that's all everybody does.

Pennsylvania

A perfect date in the mind of a Pennsylvanian has to be eating a Philly Cheesesteak and watching reruns of the Pittsburgh Penguins making it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Rhode Island

All of Rhode Island seems very Colonial-wannabe. A perfect date would be living out that fantasy and dressing as Colonial men and women to view the historical Colonial towns.

South Carolina

You have to be really into ghosts to live in South Caroling considering that literally the entire state is haunted from all of the plantations. I can just envision all of the people who must do ouija boards and call it a date.

South Dakota

Probably just go look at the giant president rock I guess??

Tennessee

All Tennessee people care about are dates to the rodeo and Keith Urban concert. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Texas

I don't know what anybody would actually do on a date in Texas, but I'm assuming every girl would spend a solid 4 hours preparing her hair before the date even begins.

Utah

High School Musical was filmed in Salt Lake City and that's pretty much all that Utah has going for itself. Pretending to be Troy and Gabriella at the real East High School seems pretty cute though.

Vermont

There is literally nothing in Vermont, including restaurants. There's not much to do in Vermont besides eat, so a whole date night could be driving around this boring state trying to find even ONE restaurant.

Virginia

Hiking the mountains actually seems like a pretty fun date, especially considering that that's all Virginia really has to offer.

Washington

I feel like every person in Washington takes their significant other with them to go take cute pictures at the mountains and then spends the night there stargazing. Cute, but is there even anything else to do in this state?

West Virginia

Might as well just pack it up and travel to the more relevant Virginia as a date...

Wisconsin

I'll bet beer and cheese tasting is a hot weekend date place.

Wyoming

Literally the least populous state in the country so I'm just going to assume that the people here don't even go on any dates.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
