Bow ties are the essence of cool, collected, and creative. There is no reason to keep up the stereotypes of bow ties being only for nerds or tuxedo's (although nerds are awesome and tuxedos are arguably as sharp as a man can dress). Let's look at a few of the reasons to bring back bow ties in both business settings and our every day lives. It is almost the "Roaring Twenties" again, y'all!

1. Check out men's style!

It's almost the roaring twenties again ya'll! Let's get Great Gatsby glamorous. Bow ties are moving more and more towards a huge variety of styles, materials and textures. Just check out this next one...

2. Make people happy

Men can be dogs, but even dogs look cute in bow ties!

3. Permeate confidence

Chicks dig dudes with dogs and bow ties.

4. Be tenacious and gracious

Knowing how to tie a bow tie well show other people in the room what kinda person you are: smart, patient, clean, and efficient!

5. Elevate simplicity

A bow tie can take a simple outfit and turn it GQ in a heart beat. Who doesn't want a little GQ in their day to day?

6. Add 10 points to your I.Q.

There is nothing more intellectually sexy than a well worn bow tie. They are the choice of industry leaders and world changers throughout history! Check out Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, and even Bill Nye.

7. Embrace ambition

Bow ties have long been held as a sign of wealth and class. Embrace your desire to change the world!

8. Create a signature

Every good business person can agree on one thing: signatures sell. For Apple products, it's the packaging and operating system, for Toyota it's dependability, for McDonald's it's the Big Mac! Make yourself stand out, be unique, and most of all, memorable!

9. Rock the end of day look!

A loosened bow tie suggests a night of scotch on the rocks and swooning.

10. And tell me you don't want to look like Dicaprio!

Leo is the pinnacle of the modern man in a bow tie. Cheers to a revival of the gentleperson!

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.
