6 Unrealistic Expectations Pinterest Has Given Me
The Street

Pinterest has been around since 2010 giving people everywhere unrealistic expectations about practically everything under the sun. From crafting perfectly painted coolers to your dream wedding dress or your dream mansion. Pinterest has it all.

1. Becoming a crafting goddess

Yes, Pinterest taught me to paint canvases, make bracelets, sew, and envision beautiful creations; although, sometimes those things fail miserably. Have you ever tried to free-hand paint an entire cooler? Don't do it to yourself (or at least not overnight).

2. Finding a dream home

If Pinterest were a real estate agent, they would be the best in the business. They find the perfect small apartment fully furnished to a cottage style house, or even a mansion on water. They allow you to dream big, find something you love without breaking the bank by re-pinning it and just dreaming of those walk-in closets, fireplaces, pools, lake house in the backyard, and all of the luxuries that aren't quite in that college girl budget.


3. Chef Master

Have you ever tried out a Pinterest recipe? Did it work out perfectly for you? Yes? Save it. Print it. Frame it. That doesn't happen too often when one tries to create something from the Perfect Princess Printer, but when it does it is flawless and delicious.


4. To Be or Not To Be: Philosophical

Quotes from the days of Aristotle, authors like Hemingway, lyrics from your favorite songs, and unknown writers who share their words with the world. If only we could all be like those writers and share our views with the world.


5. Perfect Weight. Perfect Face. Perfect Abs.

Just remember, Perfect Princess Pinterest has all of those things. Don't get too jealous.


6. Puppies

Who doesn't love puppies? Pinterest has the most perfect Golden Retrievers, Labs, little dogs, big dogs, fluffy puppies, and puppies playing with tennis balls. Who doesn't just want a lap full of puppies?


Now, it's time to get back to Pinterest and re-pin those dream kitchens, perfectly painted canvases, puppies, and everything that Princess Pinterest has to offer.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
