"When people get too chummy with me I like to call them by the wrong name to let them know that I don't really care about them."

1. He refuses to go the doctor.

Like Ron, I pretty much have to be close to my death bed to even think about going to the doctor's office.

2. Eating healthy is not his thing.

Eating healthy seems like a great idea, until you actually have to do it.

3. He has no time for symbolism.

Why do people try to make everything flowery? Short and sweet is always the way to go.

4. He embraces his carnivorous ways:

Honestly, which one sounds better, rabbit food or a juicy steak? (Vegetarians and vegans need not respond).

5. He's not caught up in the "Star Wars" craze.

"Star Wars"? "Star Trek"? Not interested

6. He is not to be messed with.

Sometimes the big guns need to come out.

7. He's confident in his abilities.


This is the type of confidence we could all use more of.

8. His excitement (or lack thereof) for traveling abroad:

Why do people get excited over the same thing built in a different style and location? Plus, who would want to leave the great U.S. of A?

9. He does what he wants.

No one wants to be told what to do, especially by the government.

10. He acknowledges that some hairstyles just don't make sense.

After 19 years of being a girl, I still do not understand why people still get bangs only to spend months complaining about having to grow them back out.

11. We all know what the worst curse word in the English language is:

Honestly, there is almost nothing as bad as having to give up your hard-earned money.

12. He knows when history truly began.

Did anything that happened before July 4, 1776 really matter?

13. He knows how to have a good time.

Socialize? No. Stuff my face? No problem. I may even throw some Netflix in there somewhere.

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.
