10 Things We Love About Darren Criss
Tumblr

God created Earth in seven days; we know this from the Old Testament. What we weren't told however is what God created on the eighth day: Darren Criss. In honor of his 29th birthday, we recount all the reasons we love him so dearly.

1. His Smile


They say an angel gets her wings every time he smiles.

2. His Laugh

Darren sticking his tongue out while laughing is the sole reason for my existence.

3. His Hair

Whether you're partial to his mophead, short curls, or slicked-back look, Darren's locks never disappoint.

4. His Smoldering Smize


Where does the v-neck end Darren? Where does it end?

5. His Body While Performing as Hedwig

Darren's quads have already spoken for me.

6. The Photoshoot




Darren's day at the beach singlehandedly resolved two wars and ended starvation. It also spawned Tyler Oakley's legendary response, a video which Darren would later tease him for.

7. His Arms




Darren Criss' arms: Making the world a better place since 2009.

8. His Musicianship





Darren is happiest while expressing himself through music and so are we.

9. His Activism

Darren is well known for his work with the Trevor Project, an LGBT non-profit organization.

10. His Glasses


Every so often, Darren pops out his glasses and awakens a part of us we didn't know existed.

10. His Beard

Just like his glasses, his beard is a rare entity that must be appreciated during its brief presence.

I don't know what we did to deserve him, but I do know that the world is better for his existence in it. Happy birthday Darren!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
