Sometimes I feel weird for letting these strange pet peeves annoy me. I'm sharing this in hopes that I'm not the only one with weird pet peeves! If you do any of these things, it doesn't mean I don't like you, it just means I might not be able to stand you at times!

1. When people chew with their mouth open.

I know a lot of people can't help it but it's something that I can't stand. Sometimes it gets to the point where I have to go eat somewhere else because it grosses me out so much.

2. When people slurp their soup.

People don't understand that you don't slurp when you eat soup with a smaller spoon that can fit in your mouth! Also, slurping the soup doesn't make it taste any different, I've tried it.

3. When drivers don't use their blinkers.

This happens so often and it's something that I literally can be mad at for hours. If you're breaking and don't have a signal or anything, how am I supposed to know that you're breaking because you're going to turn and not just breaking for no reason?

4. When people talk over me after asking me a question.

It makes me feel like they really don't care and are just asking me to ask or because they have something they want to say about the topic. Please let me finish and then tell me what you have to say about my answer.

5. When people judge or dislike others due to their political views.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Please don't trash someone or dislike them simply because you disagree with them on things. No one is less of a person due to their political party.

6. When professors bring politics to the classroom.

I'm not here to learn about what you believe and what you think all of us should believe. I especially hate when teachers find out you disagree with them and then hold a grudge against you, even though it's something they're not supposed to do and they know it.

7. When people invade my personal space.

Sometimes I don't like people in my personal space, but I especially hate it when it is someone that I don't know. This usually takes place when shopping, and it's become a reason why I'm starting to dislike going to the mall.

8. When people pick at their nails and it makes a noise.

I hate when people are picking their nails or their nail polish off and it makes a noise. It literally makes me cringe and sometimes I have to walk away or I have to just tell people to stop becuase it irritates me that much.. Yes, it's a weird one but I cannot stand it!

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.
