Dagers: Day ragers. Here's everything you need to know about surviving one at UD.

Alcohol: An abundance everywhere you turn during these days.

Beer: Thrown on you, poured on you; you can almost guarantee you come home drenched.

Choate Street: Flooded with hundreds of dagers hoping from party to party.

Darty: Please do not call it this, it is incorrect.

El Diablo: The place to be after a long day of daging; the line is usually a 30 minute wait but so, so worth it.

Frats: They rule the Saturday dage scene; you can be sure that your favorite frat will be having some party this day.

Game day: This is our version of a typical college game day.

Hangover: After you take that nap right when you get home after a long day, you wake up with the worst of this, and have a hard time rallying, but we usually do.

Ice Luge: When you hear a frat is having an ice luge at their dage, you put it at the top of your list. (Most girls just want to take pictures of them doing it)

Jean Skirts: If 50% of the girls aren't wearing jean skirts, then you are probably at the wrong school.

Keg: Don't even bother waiting in line, you will be there forever.

Lose: You lose everything; your shoe, your friends, your pride.

Main Street: The most crowded it will ever be during the week, as all the houses where these dages are take place here.

Natty: The only choice you have. If you don't like it BYOB.

One Dollar Slices: Probably the best deal on pizza that exists, and it exists right at the corner of Main Street at Papa Johns.

Pregame: The pump up activity with your friends to guarantee a great day of daging.

Quiet: In the quaint little town of Newark, DE, quiet is something it is not during dage season. Sorry families!

Roofs: So packed that sometimes the roof starts to cave in.

St. Pattys Day: Where you wake up at 9 am to start daging and go until 7 pm.

Tired: After, you feel as if you have been awake for 48 hours, but it was just the dage draining everything out of you.

UDage: Our nick name because we are the king of dages.

Vomiting: Don't be that person, please.

Weather: When its scorching hot out, you don't really have a choice but to wear as little as possible.

(E)Xcitment: Because it's the best freaking day of the week, duh!

Yelling: I KNOW THE COPS ARE HERE STOP SCREAMING AT ME TO LEAVE.

Zzzzz: Time to catch some z's in anticipation for next Saturday!

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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
