Nine Signs You've Found Your Prince Charming

Finding Mr. Right in today's society can be so hard. All girls want that perfect guy who will always be available and constantly treat them like a princess. Together, the two of you will ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. Are you wondering if you've found the one? Here are nine signs that you've found your prince charming!

1. He insists on doing every single little thing for you.

Don't be absurd. You can't open your own door or carry or your own books! Is there a puddle in front of you? Don't play around and jump in it, Prince Charming will carry you right over the puddle. Actually, he'll carry you through any problems that you face. EVER. You'll never have to cook dinner, do the laundry, or wash those nasty dishes. When the dragon comes around, he'll be there to slay it.

2. He carries around a sword.

What more could a girl ask for? A true gentlemen will never let you fight your own battles. This might be awkward when you get on the Subway, or when you go through airport security but having such a protective guy is really much more beneficial than public transportation.

3. He sings ALL THE TIME.

This might sound like it would be annoying but it actually is quite endearing. Prince Charming is never sad, of course, or off key. He'll sing anything from Silento's "Watch Me" to Jason Aldean's "Big Green Tractor." And when he sings with his shirt off? Oh baby.

4. He has a foot fetish.

It's worth it if it means that you can get those glass slippers! The sad thing is that they only come in one size.

5. He kisses you while you were sleeping without your consent.

Lol. Personal space? Boundaries? What do you mean? It's soooo romantic.

6. He rides horses.

Cars are so last century. Would you rather have the prom king driving a mustang or Prince Charming riding his noble mustang? Keep apples and sugar cubes in your purse for snack time. And never, NEVER walk behind him. Glass slippers don't hold up well with manure.

7. He sticks peas under your mattress.

You wouldn't think you would notice this as much as you actually do. Don't complain about it though! It could be worse. You could actually have to fight a dragon, or worse, walk across a puddle.

8. He's actually a frog.

It isn't that bad, unless you hate long tongues, or eating insects for dinner.

9. He isn't real.

Girls get so angry when guys say they are looking for a passive, beautiful, and dependent woman but they forget that they are, in fact, looking for an ideal guy as well. Both guys and girls are looking for unrealistic attributes! Girls are looking for prince charming: Dashing, romantic and strong. I hate to tell you this, girls, but most Disney princesses encourage the search for unrealistically beautiful and ridiculously dependent women. The search for Prince Charming is just as absurd. By holding men to unrealistic expectations, we pressure them to be the perfect guy. But nobody's perfect and it's unfair for us to tell them to be that way.

Instead of looking for Prince Charming, let's STOP looking. Let's stop being passive and dependent. Live your life. Go on adventures. Be brave. Take risks. Try new things. Make new friends with guys and girls. Not being in a relationship doesn't make you a lesser person. Be excited to live your life and stop waiting for the arrival of some fictional guy. You don't need some guy to come save you. In fact, you don't need saving at all. As the Cheetah Girls once said, "I don't want to be like Cinderella / Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar / Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free."

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.
