6 Reasons Clark Kent Would Be My Romantic Kryptonite over Superman Every Time

Clark Kent is such an underrated character and he has much more of a personality than Superman.

Don't get me wrong, my favorite DCU character is Batman, but I've always liked Clark Kent better than Bruce Wayne. Clark Kent actually works a real job as a journalist while Bruce is kind of just a shadow figure behind Wayne Enterprises. We're not talking about Batman and Superman we're talking about Superman and Clark.

1. You'll see Clark Kent more often than Superman.

Superman

Giphy

Superman is an icon. Clark isn't. You'd have to meet with Superman in the privacy of your home because if he's in a public area there will be many fans trying to ask him questions (and there's no way he'd say, "No questions, please, I'm eating lunch with my girlfriend," because that would start more questions and put a target on your back.) Clark would be able to enjoy his time with you. (Before he would have to change into to Superman to save the world, of course.)

2. Clark is a journalist.

This means he at least tries to search for the truth and won't form any opinions until the absolute bottom line.

3. Clark is dorky while Superman has a more dominating personality.

I don't know about you, but dorky boys are so much better than guys with barely a personality. A guy that can make you laugh while simultaneously acting or inspiring you to act like a fool is a guy that's worth being with. Superman seems like the only thing he has going for him is the air of mystery.

4. Clark cares about his family.

Family Matters to Clark

Giphy

Clark cared so much about his adoptive father that he almost exposed his powers to save his father (Man of Steel, 2013). Clark didn't want to lose him, but his father knew it wasn't the right time for Clark to become Superman.

5. Clark doesn't have the world resting on his shoulders (or at least he doesn't show it)

Problem solving Superman

Giphy

Superman has felt the weight of the world since he became aware of its problems. Clark only knows what he writes about. Other than the loss of his father he can be as naive as he wants.

6. Clark doesn't have girls throwing themselves at him

Clark is a dorky guy, and Superman is seen as brawny; bringing strength to a town when needed. Superman wears a tight form-fitting uniform while Clark wears shirts that hide the brawn of Superman.

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.
