Dear Crazy Fangirls And Fanboys

It's okay to love celebrities. Just be cool about it.

Dear Crazy Fangirls And Fanboys
Infectious Magazine

To the very, very, very, very, very passionate fans of anyone or anything, I am asking with a heavy heart and good intentions that you please calm down. I love those celebrities and other various famous things a whole lot too, but I paid just as much as you did to see this concert, and I would like to enjoy myself.

Now before I move on, it is important to note that I am fangirl myself. I proudly follow The Bachelor Franchise. I watch it every week. I watch every spin-off, and I fiercely discuss the most recently televised drama with my friends and family casually over dinner. I also indulge regularly in K-Pop. I confidently mumble through all of the Korean lyrics, admire Korean men's dancing and rapping abilities, and waste too much time wishing to be G-Dragon's friend (I don't expect the average reader to know who he is, so here's his Wikipedia page to check out for fun!).

I have many guilty pleasures. However, I do not cry at the sight of celebrities. When I say that I want them to have all of my babies, I'm only joking...85.7 percent of the time. My passionate belting of the lyrics and my designated dancing space do not bother too many people. However, your unhinged, borderline-scary concert behavior should be refined. As your screams barely miss reaching the level of decibels only heard by dogs, I am right next to you trying my very best to enjoy the same concert.

I don't mean to start a fan war with this article. That is the very last thing that I want to do. Trust me. I only want some fanatics to relax. Take a few deep breaths in and out. Realize that these celebrities are just normal people like you and me. Yes, they much more talented, attractive, and dreamy than myself, but they probably grew very tired of fans ruthlessly and mercilessly screaming at them and telling them to take off their shirts a long, long time ago.

Please don't cry that much. It seriously worries me. And, please don't obsessively document the entire concert using your phone, camera, tablet, your friend's phone and laptop. It seriously distracts me. Instead, just relax, and don't take yourself too seriously. It's okay to laugh at yourself. The best fans are the ones who have the most fun and who can poke fun at themselves. Just check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Love, Your Fellow Fangirl.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
