Rules are meant to be broken am I right? Well, at least these ones are from time to time.

1. Skipping class because you have to study for another test


So you may have accidentally taken a "study break" and it ended up being six weeks worth of class and now you have a huge test and only so many hours to cram. So, you see a perfect excuse to skip a class before your big exam strictly for the sake of your GPA.

2. Breaking your diet

I'm not saying you should throw away that kick butt workout you just completed or throw away all the progress you've made in becoming a vegan but, eat a cheeseburger if you want it, that's all.

3. Texting him or her first

Today, modern romance is all about who can care less. On one hand, you might really want to talk to a guy but you wouldn't dare text him first. And on the other hand, he's too shy because he thinks you're out of his league. But, you both desperately want to talk to each other. Break. This. Rule. Can we actually not make this a rule anymore? Text someone if you want to talk to them, life's too short!

4. Buying the expensive bag

Buy that expensive bag or shoes because you are worth it and you are worth it now. Invest in yourself now. Maybe you will have to order off the McDonald's dollar menu for a week or two but, at least you'll look fabulous doing it.

5. Kissing on the first date

If the night is right and the moment is romantic don't ruin it because you have made up some rule in your head. Studies have shown that if you kiss on the first date, you are completely safe from wasting a cute outfit on the second date that ends with a bad, no firework, no sparks, kind-of kiss.

6. Wearing white after labor day

If I want to wear white jeans or a white dress I don't care when it is, I'm doing it. If the shoes fit, wear it. If the outfit is white and it's after labor day but you look amazing, wear it.

7. Getting a tattoo when you're young

Coming from someone who doesn't even have an ink, it annoys me when I hear other people ask someone, "what do you think that's gonna look like when you're ninety?" , or "are you sure you want that on your body for the rest of your life?". Let people live their own lives the way they want to!

8. Wearing something out of your "age" zone

Again, if you think you look good in something, wear it with confidence! Don't second guess yourself just because it might make you look a little younger or a little older.

9. Eating after midnight

Calories don't count after midnight should be the new rule. Sometimes you find yourself on a Saturday night out with your friends and they want to go through a drive-thru. You can't be lame and say no just because it's late at night.

10. Sneaking candy into the movies

When candy costs four dollars at the movie theatre and one dollar at a gas station it can be tempting to sneak it in. It's nothing to be ashamed about unless you get caught, then that's just really embarrassing.

Sometimes you just have to break the rules and do harmless little things like this to make it seem like you're living life on the edge. What rules are you going to break today?

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.
