Each member of a friend group brings with them something different to add to the whole of the group dynamic. Whether you think you're the mom or the creepy uncle, everyone falls somewhere on the friend group family tree.

1. The Mom

If you can almost always be seen sporting a backpack full of snacks, an extra jacket, and anything else any of your friends may need, then you might be the mom of the friend group. Sure, it's a tough job keeping all these kids in line, but someone has to do it.

2. The Grandma

The Grandma of the friend group is the friend who can easily take a nap, no matter what time of day it is. The grandma may also not go out as much as everyone else because they prefer to stay in where they can wear their favorite pajamas and watch a good movie.

3. The Rebellious Teen

Rebellious teens, you know who you are. You have heard the words "Be careful!" from the mom of the group many times. The rebellious teen of the friend group is the one you really do not want mad at you. They have a short temper know how to hold a grudge like a pro.

4. The Goody-Two-Shoes

The goody-two-shoes of the family is the one rule follower who tries, although frequently without success, to keep everyone in line and out of trouble.


5. The Baby

The baby of the friend group is the one who everyone loves, even when they're being annoying, and who can get away with absolutely anything.

6. The Puppy

The puppy of the friend group has all the energy and excitement of a golden retriever mixed with the curiosity of a husky and all the cuteness of a black lab. It is impossible to be mad at them because they are just so gosh darn cute.


7. The Creepy Uncle

The creepy uncle of the friend group is the one who aggressively flirts with everyone and doesn't seem to quite understand personal space.

8. The Golden Boy

Star of the basketball team, super nice guy, and all-around heartthrob. The golden boy is impossible not to like and only makes you love him more with each grin from his perfect pearly whites.

9. The Cool Aunt

The cool aunt of the friend group has to be good at keeping secrets and keeping you out of trouble while also being the one who got you in that trouble in the first place. Your cool aunt is the one who tells you when you are looking extra good and is always ready to party.

10. Dad

The dad of the friend group is the boss, calls the shots and is always in charge. You always have your kid's backs and they love you for it.

"Family is like fudge, mostly sweet but with lots of of nuts."

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.
