True Confessions Of A Girly Tomboy

Why not be the best of both worlds?

I have always had friends and family comment on how I act like "such a girl" or "such a boy." I feel that there is no need for certain actions to classify me as either being a girly girl or a tomboy, but let myself be the best of both worlds. This belief is what labeled me as "girly tomboy." I have always been the type to "hang with the bros,"but also engage in and enjoy "girl talk."

I have always loved kicking back and being able to talk about topics of interest to one group that isn't of interest to another and all that is in between. I believe that this kind of personality has allowed me to keep an open mind and click with all types of crowds. Personally, I believe that life is more enjoyable when you have interests that range from outdoor activities, sports, superhero movies and food to fashion, cheesy movies, shopping, and gossip with friends. When talking with my close friends and family, I am either super cheesy and sappy or extremely sarcastic and playful.

I have also been told that I have a diverse fashion sense that fluctuates between a boyfriend jeans and over-sized t-shirt combo paired with vans or leggings and a sweater paired with ankle boots. Although what I wear depends on my mood, it also depends on my level of comfort desired. I have always been the type to dress for comfort first and style second while leaving the opinions of others third.

Being the way I am and having unique interests, style choices and friend groups that vary has helped me to not worry as much about everyone else's opinion and to focus on my own. Why limit yourself to just being one thing? Be everything that makes you happy and don't let anyone else confine your interests and actions into specific boxes.

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.
