If you've ever watched "Parks and Recreation: before, then you are no doubt familiar with Orin. We've never met anyone like him. He's genuinely one of a kind. He might not be the next Bachelor, but he's Orin and that's strangely...better.

1. Orin’s a professional man. His resume will be the first one that employers look at because it's that exceptional.

He may not have extracurriculars or any experience in the corporate world but he has many other skills and talents. He's just too modest.

2. Orin has a bachelor's degree and even has a special talent.

Orin didn't write it on his resume, but humility is key for Orin. How does he stay so humble?

3. Orin knows how to plan an event. It may not have balloons and champagne but can you plan a better event?

Sure, it's not the food bank or a coat drive but he's giving his precious time to help the community. Oh, and don't ever tell Orin what he is and what he isn't.

4. As a part-time job, Orin's a professional fortune teller

He doesn't need an orb or a magic room because he's Orin. You won't ever have to worry about being financially unstable. Nope. Not when you're with him.

5. Orin is domesticated and doesn't believe that women belong in the kitchen.

If anyone empowers women, it's Orin. He has #HeForShe tattooed across his chest and he certainly has "no ragrets". A true feminist icon.

6. With all seriousness aside, Orin just wants to have fun.

Orin's just here to have a good time. He's the life of the party. He's one of us.

7. But like every great man, he has a weakness

I can't stand heights but Orin can't stand Chris Traeger and that is 100% okay. It just reminds me how human Orin is.

8. Regardless of what anyone says, Orin continues to be himself.

It's so important to find a man who's confident in his identity and sadly, it's a rarity to find someone who's like that.

Orin knows the way to any woman's heart and you're lying if you say you aren't captivated by him. If there's one person I miss from "Parks and Recreation," it is the man of my dreams, Orin.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
