A Lesson For Man Candy Monday and Woman Crush Wednesday

A Lesson For Man Candy Monday and Woman Crush Wednesday

Anyone who has a Twitter, Instagram, and occasionally Facebook dreads their newsfeeds every Monday and Wednesday because of the abundance of hashtags that say either #MCM or #WCW.

Of course, some are more annoying than others, so in order to save you the trouble of being one of those people who posts a #MCM or #WCW that makes your followers want to rip their eyes out, or better yet yours, run your potential honoree by these categories.

#MCM

Option 1: The old guy friend that you haven’t seen in a while. You miss him, and y’all used to be super close, but for some reason you thought about him today and rather than sending a quick text or calling him, you have chosen to tell your entire list of followers that you are in fact still friends and that you want to see him soon. Because that is totally better than a text message, right?

Option 2: Your BFF, also known as the guy who might as well be one of your girlfriends. You love him to death, and you tell him everything -- even the most intimate details he would probably never choose to hear. In order to show your appreciation for him putting up with you through everything even without being your boyfriend, you decide to broadcast your “forever” friendship through your favorite BFF pic, which of course has the #MCM hashtag as well as a quote or sentence saying how awesome he is. 

Option 3: The crush. Y’all either just started seriously “talking” (worst phrase ever) or you want to let him know how cute you think he is, so you think it is a good idea to make him your #MCM… Wrong. Don’t do it, ladies. You will either freak him out because he didn’t feel the same way, or you will make everyone think you are together when it is probably wayyyyy too soon to be admitting that you two are a thing. Just wait until y’all take a cute photo together and then post it with one of the annoying captions of how sweet he is and trust me, the world will be alerted that you’re on your way to no longer being single. 

Option 4: The “best boyfriend in the world” photo. Yes, we get it, you think your boyfriend is the best in the world and no other guy compares. Newsflash! Almost every other girl in a relationship feels the same way. No one wants to see photos of y’all kissing once a week or taking precious little love fest photos that will either make every single girl hate you and your relationship or will cause a chain reaction of these same photos from other girls who also believe that they have the “best and sweetest boy on earth.” Honestly, we do not care, and you should just call your boyfriend and tell him you love him and he’s your #MCM, chances are he already knows that and doesn’t need a picture he may not even look at to reassure him. 

Option 5: Dream on sweet pea, it’ll never happen, but hot damn -- those abs. We all have those celebrity crushes on the sexy guys that we will more than likely never meet let alone get to actually call “ours.” But they do take amazing photos and are every girls favorite #MCM. Trust me, no girl is going to object if they scroll down their newsfeed and see Chuck Bass, David Beckham or Channing Tatum shirtless. If you want to be sure that your #MCM will not have eyes rolled at it or snarky sighs, then I suggest going with a man that every girl can drool over.

#WCW                                                                                          

Of course, guys are a lot different and usually simpler than girls and #WCW is a prime example of this considering options for the special gal can go one of two ways. 

Option 1: She's mine now, back off. If you’re lucky enough to find the girl perfect for you, then it is time to claim your territory. Posting a cute photo of y’all (that she probably took) with the #WCW hashtag lets every other guy know that she is taken, and they need to steer clear or await their black eye. If you’re posting the photo of your girlfriend because she just did something super sweet or you just cannot spend five seconds without telling her and everyone else how much you love her, then dude, you’re probably whipped. There is usually nothing wrong with that, but before you post your photo, make sure you’re not blushing and gushing like a girl- we love being loved, but most of us don’t want a guy more obsessive than us… #nosmothering 

Option 2: Could she be wearing less clothing? This is the scantily clad, hair teased, makeup ready, probably either tattooed or large chested, dream girl that you have been stalking on social media and fawning over. Same as with the guys that we girls drool over, these photos will make every other guy that follows you, and maybe some girls, insanely happy and awaiting your next #WCW; but be prepared for less likes/favorites than normal because no girl is going to like this photo unless it is her icon since we hate competition and girls prettier than us, and you guys know that is true. So, before you choose that special person that receives the blessing of being named your #MCM or #WCW for that week, be sure that you re-read which option the star of your photo falls under and please, do not bore us with the photos that we do not care one bit to see.

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?
