I was looking at the trends on Twitter today, and I saw a headline about Ariana Grande. It said: "Ariana Grande not dating in 2019," or something along the lines of that.

I was curious and read more about it, and the singer tweeted out a response to a fan whom asked about who she would be dating for the new year. It read:


Grande says she is not dating anyone in the new year, and her relationship status is going to remain that way. Although it is kind of a sassy response, the singer has made a point that it really should not matter.

We often see entertainment headlines about celebrities and their dating life, who is with who and who broke up with who. But really, how much does it matter? Celebrities to me are a whole different spectrum. They are living in a world of money and fame, so what good is doing when we obsess over their lives?

I wrote a similar article about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, after all the disgruntle and controversy of their marriage. It is just the ridiculous concept of us average people obsessing over the lives of famous people. It is not like our opinions are going to do anything, and constantly badgering them through interviews and questions on social media is not going to give us answers either.

Clearly Grande is getting tired of it. I do not blame her at all, and even though she kind of fed into how people are so curious of all her relationships with her song, "Thank U, Next," I imagine at some point it must get tiring when all people, especially in the press, ask about her relationship status all the time.

In this case, it was a fan who asked about the singer's private life. I know we all have the natural curiosity of who is dating who, but at some point it just becomes unhealthy to get involved in a celebrity's personal life. Like honestly, who cares? The celebrity should just be able to date whomever they want, and if they happen to write a song about it, whatever, good for them. It is their life and that should be the end of it.

Not only is Grande a celebrity who constantly gets bothered with the question of who she is dating, Taylor Swift has always been in the spotlight because of her dating status. It just baffles me that people care so much to even comment about, to the point where the celebrities have to make statements on social media or even write songs about it.

It just makes me kind of irritated, because if we focused our attentions elsewhere in entertainment, rather than obsessing over famous people, I think a lot less drama would ensue. I know it may entertain people, but celebrities are normal people too, and have the right to keep their relationship status to themselves. At the end of the day, would you want people obsessing over your relationships?

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.
