The 8 Best Types Of Conversations

Because what's better than those 2AM heart-to-hearts?

1. Deep road-trip talks.

There’s nothing that brings two people closer together than driving 500 miles together. The close quarters inevitably bring about some serious and intimate conversations which help us learn more than we ever hoped to learn about our travel-mates and even about ourselves.

2. Nervous chatter on the way to the top of the rollercoaster.

I lied. The journey to the top of the rollercoaster takes the prize for bringing two people closer together. It’s exciting, it’s thrilling, it’s a little bit scary… But it’s definitely worth it.

3. 2 AM heart-to-hearts with your roommate.

These are unexpected and completely out of the blue which is what makes them so amazing. Never mind the fact that you have class in 6 hours and still haven’t finished your paper...your roommate is much more interesting and important!

4. Random, nonsensical babble started out of pure boredom.

At this point, what you’re saying doesn’t even make sense. Even your four-year-old sister could come up with more intelligent content than that. But you just don’t care. You’re just trying to pass the time, and even gibberish will do.

5. Sharing good news.

Whether it’s the fact that you absolutely aced your final or the fact that you’ve officially gotten rid of that pesky cough that’s plagued you for a good month now, sharing good news with loved ones means sharing happiness and joy.

6. Anything you say to your dog, and anything your dog barks back.

Furry friends are the best friends.

7. Civilized debate.

It’s always fun when you can communicate with someone who has a completely different viewpoint than yours but still maintain a peaceful and friendly atmosphere. There doesn’t have to be a winner or a loser at the end; just the fact that a civilized discourse and an amicable relationship can simultaneously exist is enough.

8. Harmless banter with an old friend.

What’s better than joking around with and poking fun at someone you’ve known since forever?

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.
