Well, it is almost Valentine's Day which means you either have a wonderful relationship with someone you really care about or you're single. But honestly being single isn't that bad, really it's not. Here are some benefits you probably haven't thought of when it comes to being single.

1. No need to "dress to impress."

No need to look nice for someone else, dress however you want. Dress up for yourself to go out with friends or stay at home in your old pajamas binge-watching Netflix and eating snacks.

2. You can buy your own chocolate.

February 15th should be known as discount chocolate day; you get all the goodies for half the price!! Also, feel free to buy yourself a large stuffed animal because you can and they are extremely comfortable.

3. Free to enjoy "the scenery."

No one is going to be mad if you check a guy out, feel free to look all you want!!!

4. You spend less money.

No need for anniversary gifts, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, Valentine's, nothing. WAY LESS MONEY is spent when you are just buying things for yourself.

5. You can spend more time with friends.

We all know that one friend who gets a boyfriend and you never hear from her again until they break up... you won't be that friend.

6. You get the whole bed to yourself.

No need to choose sides when all of it is yours!!!

7. What's yours, is yours.

No sharing is necessary and you run out of stuff a lot slower.

8. You clean up after yourself, and only yourself.

Let's face it, people can be messy and if you like being clean and they don't, you're gonna have problems.

9. No one judges you for doing crazy/dumb things.

Whether it is going out with friends, or fixing food at a ridiculous time in the morning (and eating all the food yourself). You don't get judged because you're the only person that knows about it.

10. It's always your choice.

Movies, music, throw pillow color, restaurants, the temperature of the house, 4 ANYTHING!!! You get to decide and no one will argue with you. You can also buy your choice of any product at the store and no one argues for another brand.

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.

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.
