Things You Do To Make Believe You Have Your Life Together

We all like to believe we're real life adults, but lets face it, we still rely on our mothers to make our doctors appointments.

Things You Do To Make Believe You Have Your Life Together

It's no secret, adulting is hard, but pretending to be an adult is a breeze! You do it on a daily basis effortlessly. So well, in fact, that some people think you actually have your life together.

Let's see here, so...

You own multiple pairs of workout pants and sports bras

Except they’re all from Victoria’s Secret and you only own them because they’re cute, not because you ever actually work out in them

You carry a planner with you

But everything you write in it is either a party or bottomless mimosas for Sunday brunch

You plan a bunch of productive activities to do throughout the day

And that list quickly turns into lunch, nap, post-lunch snack, pre-dinner snack, nap, dinner, bar

You do the dishes

Only because there are none left in the cabinet and paper plates cost money


You organized your desk space

But have never actually sat at it and done any work

You donate your old clothes to Good Will

Only because Plato’s Closet didn’t take them and you’re too lazy to post them all on resale apps


You come up with unique and surprisingly tasty recipes

Because nothing in your cabinet is really supposed to be combined together but you’re not scared of thinking outside the box if it saves a trip to the grocery store

You hang all of your clothes in the closet instead of throwing them on the floor

Because they can’t be wrinkly when you re-wear them for the 4th time without washing them

You own plants

Even though they’re all succulents that don’t require any attention to stay alive

You buy produce often

but don’t eat it fast enough because fast food somehow always finds its way in

You make it to all of your important appointments on time

hair, nails, brows…priorities.

You’re easy to get in contact with

because your iPhone doesn’t leave your hand

You attend a Yoga class

Once a month so that you can justify all of your "good vibes" decor

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.
