7 Benefits of Using Tinder

In this new technologically advanced world, even our relationships have become electronically motivated. One of the biggest and most well-known platforms for online dating is Tinder. Although it gets a lot of hate, Tinder has become extremely popular among people of all age groups so it must be doing something right.

1. It will reduce the chances of you texting your ex.

We all know those moments of weakness when all we want to do is pick up our phone and text our ex saying, "Hello, it's me" (Adele is bae). Having Tinder will make sure that in those moments of weakness, you can channel your energy towards swiping left or right on pictures of strangers instead of doing things you will regret later.

2. It will boost your ego.

If you ever feel like there is something wrong with you, or you don't think you are good looking, just open Tinder and let the matches come at you like positive vibes, boosting your ego to the point of no return.

3. It eliminates the small talk

Some people do not enjoy the thrill of the chase, and for centuries, there was nothing they could do to avoid that awkward beginning of a potential relationship. If this sounds like you, Tinder is the perfect way to get to the point and skip the small talk.

4. It allows you to practice your pick-up lines

With Tinder, not only can you use pick up lines and not have it haunt you if they fail, you can also test which ones work and which ones are based on strangers' responses to them.

5. It lets you meet people outside your social circle

It is difficult to have a life outside your friends group, school or college. Tinder allows you to meet people are not in your social circle and sometimes, if things don't seem like they will work out in terms of a relationship, you can just stay friends, meet their friends, and expand your social horizons.

6. It improves your analytical skills

You have to find out as much as you can about a stranger just by the little information they have put up on their Tinder profile. This means you will become quite observant, focusing on what is in the background when it comes to pictures and analyzing the implications of what they have shared in their bio.

7. It allows you to remain stable even if things don't work out

Since the person you meet on Tinder will probably not know your friends or family, if things don't work out between you guys, you don't have to face the horror of hanging out with them even after you break up or having people you know ask about them. It can be your little secret.

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.

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?
