Bookworms. That classic, cute, nerdy, stereotype. One of the Internet's favorite topics. And what should be one of your favorite personalities. (JK. Kinda. We're all great in our own ways). However, back to the stereotype part. I feel like there are some of those that need to be cleared up. Some circulated around the 'net seem to be right, and some seem to be wrong. So here's four things everyone should know about bookworms, straight from a bookworm herself (seriously -- in fourth grade I got in trouble for reading under my desk during math class).

1. Some of us do have favorite books

Seriously. I know bookworms have a stereotype of not being able to choose, but that is not necessarily true. Having a favorite book does not mean you do not love reading. It does not mean you do not love reading other books, or books by other authors, etc. It just means that one book is the one you love the best.

2. Do not interrupt us

Seriously. The one time this could be acceptable is to ask what we are reading. And if we just hold the book up to show the title, that means that we are not in the mood to continue the conversation. If we launch into an excited rant about the book, feel free to carry on the convo. Also, if we look particularly emotional, we're good.

3. Ask about our favorite books

See above points. Bookworms love giving book recommendations. And bonus points if you like what we recommend. If you do not, that is okay too. After we got over the emotional betrayal, we'll be happy to have a spirited debate on the book. Just, if we lend you a book, return it in the condition in which we gave it to you.

4. We do not get sick of gift cards

Seriously. I go through this every present giving occasion. Gift cards are BAE. Barnes & Noble, Amazon, a local independent book shop. Anything that can be used to buy books; we're good. If gift cards are not your thing, try your favorite book, or some cute book related paraphernalia.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.
