It isn't as fun when you're not the one getting all the love.

10 Things That Happen When Your BFF Gets a Boyfriend

1. You are forced to be nice to other people in attempt to make friends.

Once your BFF is busy doing her thing with the new bae, you begin to realize how much time you actually spent with them, and now you have all this time to do cool things, but no one to do them with.

2. Every movie night is ruined.

Remember all of those awesome movie trailers you watched with your BFF, and planned on seeing the moment they came out in theaters? Well, you can't anymore because she has already seen all of them, with him.

3. You have to keep it 'PG'.

Your conversations can no longer consist of inappropriate jokes or awkward, embarrassing moments, because he reads them all. Your BFF was also the one you would creep on guys with while walking to class, or driving down the street. There are no longer any "OMG did you see how hot he was?" conversations, because she will not answer honestly.

4. "Third-wheel" becomes your middle name.

When you finally do get to hang out with your BFF, she is with him 99% of the time anyway. It almost makes you want to be in a relationship just so you can go on double-dates with them to see your BFF more.

5. You actually start to like her BF.

When she starts dating someone you actually like, you make sure to remind her to never break up with him because then who are you going to make fun of your BFF with?

6. You hear the good, the bad, and the ugly.

You are obviously the first person (other than her new bae) that she tells things to when she is excited or pissed off. Most of the time, everything she wants to talk about has something to do with him. You start to feel like a marriage counselor because you know all of their drama and are expected to give good advice in order to fix things.

7. You can no longer have sleepovers.

We have all had those nights where you just had a crazy weekend or are having a super emotional week and all you want to do is sleep over at your BFF's because sleepovers are like the magical answer to everything. But you can't do that anymore because he will be there. Every night.

8. Boy advice is so much better.

When you need advice on the new guy you are seeing, your BFF suddenly becomes way more helpful because she has been in almost every situation with her boyfriend. You also get advice from a guy's perspective because he is always around to listen.

9. You are bored all the time.

Your BFF used to be your go-to friend to text when you were bored and had nothing to say, but needed some form of human interaction. Since your friend is busy all the time, she no longer texts back, and you are left alone, hopelessly contemplating if you should watch 'one more' episode on Netflix, eat more chips and salsa, or just go to sleep 7 hours early.

10. You stop being so negative.

When you were both single, you would be sitting on the couch, sharing a pint of ice cream and crying with your BFF that all guys were idiots, and that you would both be 'forever alone'. But now, after seeing your friend so happy, you start to realize not all guys are terrible, and now you're the only one who will be 'forever alone'.

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
