Hello. Welcome to my rant. After a week of stressful exams and dealing with people I don't want to deal with, I honestly can say that I am pretty much done with terrible people. Seriously, if I have to spend another hour listening to someone justifying their actions with a completely invalid reason, I am going to lock myself in my room and never speak to anyone ever again. Don't test me — I'll actually do it.

Here are nine terrible people that I have encountered in the last three semesters of college that should be avoided at all costs if you want to keep your sanity.

1. The person who does the bare minimum in their classes, but claims they’re going to get a good job because they “have connections.”

We all know this person. The "my dad is friends with the senator" kind of person. Some of us work as hard as we can and still get rejected for the people with "connections," and we don't want to hear about where your "connections" can get you.

2. That person that doesn’t understand that professors and TAs won’t cater to their personal needs on every single assignment.

Sorry you didn't get that extension that you asked for 6 hours before the paper is due.

3. The person who only shows up on exam day, and gets mad when they don’t get a good grade.

AND THEY PROBABLY TOOK YOUR SEAT, TOO.

4. The person who waits until the last minute to do work and tries to buy Adderall off of their friends with prescriptions.

Yes, because $5 will compensate for the medication that that person needs to function, just so your lazy ass can write the paper you've had 2 weeks to write.

5. The person who thinks it’s okay to talk on the phone in the library.

It could be just me, but I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet?

6. The person who takes your idea and uses it as their own in a group presentation.

And leaves you with nothing to talk about, making you look bad.

7. The people who make you question whether they were raised by humans.

No hate for "personal style", OK? I dig the people who wear Crocs ironically. I'm talking about the people who have NO IDEA that it's not okay to play music at 3 a.m. when their sleeping roommate has an exam at 8 a.m. the next day.

8. The people who give advice that they have never once followed, and probably never will follow.

Don't think I don't know you don't follow your own advice. Telling other people not to overreact? Then don't make faces when other people disagree with you.

9. The people who agree with everyone about everything, and therefore contradict themselves 40 times a day.

You can't think that Ryan the Frat Boy is both perfect husband material AND a sleaze-ball. Nice try.

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. 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.
