Dear Players, Thank You So Much

Mind games do not make me think that you are cute and mysterious. Instead, mind games do make me think that you are a waste of my energy and time.

Mind games do not make me think that you are cute and mysterious. Instead, mind games do make me think that you are a waste of my energy and time.

Dear Player,

I think I finally understand you now.

You are the one at the party that scans out everyone before getting your drink. You see new potentials that could either be a good time for a while, or maybe for a night. When the music starts to play you seek out the that one person from the group. No, I am not talking about the confident alpha female or male, because that would be too much work. They have that inner knowledge and they picked up on your game earlier. You would have to actually get their attention and that isn’t who you are.

So instead you go for the one who is the seemingly weakest one or the omega. The one that you know that will work to impress you with words of praise. At the end of the night that is one that you have eating out of your hand. Here is the kicker though, that person has no idea about your game plan at all do they? You make sure that you text them every other day, and if you guys do hang out it’s not a date. It will never be a date, maybe the occasional hook up but never a date.

I say all that with confidence, because I have seen it happen multiple times. Females it isn’t just guys that are doing the playing either. Let us be honest for a second, because we all know at least one girl who will mess with two dudes at the same time. I have seen my guy friends date some girl to just find out that she was never interested, but she just liked the game too much. I am not saying that you have to stop doing what you are doing. No, go ahead and keep up the good work. I applaud you because, mind games would just me dizzy at the end of the day. Having to decide how to move the chess pieces across the board is just not my style.

The only thing I have to say to is that I don’t have time for games anymore. Before, you were the type that I would fall head over heels for. You have that inner confidence with a tack of cockiness that makes you desirable. For a long time that was just what I wanted, but I figured out quickly that at the end of that path there was no rainbows or pots of gold. Instead there was just broken hearts and cheap ice cream.


Actually, I guess all in all I am kind of grateful for you. Without being played a couple of times, I would have never come to realize the differences between wanting someone and wanting to be with someone. I would have never known that instead of dedicating all of my time to someone else, I should have put that effort into making myself better. I have spent so much time on trying to decode your mind games that I forgot what it actually meant to be with someone that was genuine. So, yes thank you for being a player and breaking my confidence and making me question myself. I finally recognize that you were stepping stone in this great scheme of life.

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.
