Bags On My Arms Not Under My Eyes Please
Morgan Cunnyngham

To all the girls out there going through college right now with bags under your eyes, I feel for you.

At first, I thought nothing of them. I just thought that I touched something and it got into my eye. Even though I am not allergic to anything I thought I might have had an allergic reaction to something. Then I showed my sister my eyes. Her exact reaction was, “OH MY GOSH HAHAHA Morgan, those are bags!” I was like what the crappers are bags and why are they under my eyes. Long story short, she told me that women get bags really easily if they haven’t had a normal sleeping schedule and if they aren’t drinking enough water to moisturize the skin.

After months of trying to get rid of my bags by drinking so much water where I had to pee basically every hour, I gave up. One night I was brushing out my hair and I stopped and stared at my bags under my eyes for like 15 minutes. This is what I was thinking and told myself.

(Me talking to myself in my head)

“Well I guess I am going to have to get use to them. I have tried and they just keep on keeping on and won’t go away. At least my bags are a purple color because purple is pretty. It kind of makes me look tough. It also kind of makes me look tired. Maybe my professors will have pity on me if I ever talk to them about a problem.”

(Now I'm done)

So basically, what I am trying to say girls, is that it’s totally fine to have bags under our eyes! Our bags don’t make us any less pretty than we were before they decided to show up. So girls, rock those under eye bags! Don’t try to cover them up with coverup because everyone has flaws and everyone is beautiful with those flaws. Yes, I know that us girls would appreciate having bags on our arms from a successful shopping day than bags under our eyes from the lack of sleep and hydration but stop worrying about it or you’ll start getting grey hair!

Xoxo

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.
