Finding Love in 2019 is a Difficult Feat

Not trying to sound cliche, but for real where did it all go?

This generation has become so dry lately. We prefer to use texting rather than seeing people face to face. We solve our conflicts by texting about it rather than having a real conversation with each other. Dating apps have become the norm for meeting significant others, scratch that, I mean people to "hang out" with.

We aren't in tact with our emotions, but rather just fake it. We fake things that shouldn't ever be faked. We pretend to feel something when in reality we don't feel a thing.

Where did the love go?

Where did those friday date nights that I constantly hear older generations reminiscing about go? Why can't we go back to that time?

I don't fully understand to this day why "Netflix and Chill" has become the new norm for our generation instead of going to the movies or even just a cheap dinner date.

We've lost the love somewhere along the way. Somewhere we stopped caring about getting to know each other but rather just jump into things that at the end of the day just leave you feeling more lonely than you ever did before.

We need to calm down a bit. This generation needs to realize that this is not how its suppose to be or should be. You're not too busy to date, you just are looking in the wrong places for the wrong thing. You shouldn't be looking for just a good time or even be looking on apps for anything relationship wise.

These things take time. You don't just fall in love with someone after one meet and you don't just into a relationship after a week of knowing someone.

It takes time and patience. Everyone will find the person for them but the way this generation is going, it'll probably take way longer.

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. 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.
