Click Here If You Suffer From An Extreme Addiction To Pinterest

"I'm convinced Pinterest could teach me to build my dream house, with nothing but, foam wreaths, wine bottles and a glue gun."

Currently, I have 8.5K pins and 2.5K likes on Pinterest. I'm a Pinterest Addict. Any time I'm bored, I'm pinning. Involved in an awkward social interaction? The solution will always be pinning. I have a board for every occasion and I add another each and every day.

My boards range from cats, to food, to clothes, to words of inspiration. And I know I'm not alone. So if you’re a twenty-something young woman, you should have all of the following Pinterest Boards.

1. Wedding Boards

So you’re in your 20s and are totally single, with no prospects on the horizon. That doesn’t mean you can't have a wedding board that’s totally enviable. Make sure to pin the dress, the ring, the color scheme, the bridesmaid’s dresses and the food and drinks. And don’t forget the flowers! I'm partial to calla lilies, big dresses, and even bigger diamonds.

2. Hair Boards

Whether it be haircuts or colors, every girl needs to have a board of options. Personally, I like to separate hair boards into hair color, haircuts and hair styles. Recently break up with your high school sweet heart after your first semester away at college? Reference the board and chops off your locks. Pass your nursing final and deserve to reward yourself? Finally take the plunge and dye your hair ombre like you’ve been wanting to since you saw the sweet color on some chick from Pretty Little Liars.

3. Food Boards

I can't cook. Like literally at all. I can burn toast without even trying. So it only makes sense to have a food board and one dedicated to all those sweet treats I try making and end up royally ruining. Note to readers: the less ingredients, the easier it is to successfully make a food pin without ending up on the hilariously true Pinterest Fail pages.

4. Clothes Boards

Because I like to be thorough, I have a board for every occasion, including fall, winter, classy, gym and formal clothing. Although I'm a connoisseur for yoga pants, which are pinned to the gym board, a place that is only figurative, I like to think I’ll pin all these cute outfits and one day own and wear them. When in reality, I'm totally fine wearing leggings and a VS hoodie every day of my life.

5. Quote Boards

Need an Instagram caption? Or a Facebook status quote with just enough passive aggression that you should have just tagged the person in it? Or maybe you’re looking for your next tattoo quote to get? The Quote board will always be there to save the day. Word of advice, divide them into happy quotes, sad lyrics, and words that remind you to always SLAY.

6. Beauty Boards

Can't afford every new Anastasia eyeshadow palate eyebrow pencil or the ever popular Kylie Jenner Lip kits? I love to pin makeup ideas and kits, and sometimes I can even recreate some of the looks. Just pin them now, and later when you’re not a broke college student, you’ll remember that beauty comes second to brains.

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.
