You Know You're A Golfer When...

(...you want to throw your clubs in a trash compactor)

You Know You're A Golfer When...
Swing Strength

1. You think that golf shoes are the coolest sports shoes because they're basically Oxford cleats.

I mean let's be real. You could meet the President in these shoes. (Not that you actually would. You wouldn't risk damaging those snazzy cleats)

2. Furthermore, golf is, hands down, the most stylish sport.

Look at those guys. They're ready to check in at the Ritz.

3. It might also be the snobbiest.

"Quarter mil says you can't make par on this hole."
"Half mil and you've got yourself a bet."

4. But no matter who you are, you probably have a golf tan.

These are real people. Golf tans are legit, guys.

5. And no matter what you're doing, where you are, fore means heads up!!

Even with the professionals. Check it out here (with the sound ON). And even with the professionals it's just as embarrassing when hoards of fans have to scamper away screaming as they part like the Red Sea.

6. This is your worst fear...except with humans

That is the face of pure horror.

7. Screaming "I got an eagle!" doesn't mean you're a super-patriot.

It just means you're a super-golfer...get it?

8. This was you at one point

You've learned a lot from that day.

9. Now look at you

That's the kind of shot you have to whistle and make a visor with your hand for

10. Just kidding, this is probably you.

On the daily.

11. Like, same.

"Hm. Well. Would you look at that, Shirley. How in the world..."

12. Speaking of, you know how to fix a divot like a pro.

"Oops. Darn. Nobody saw that. Lemme just fill it in real quick. Pat it down like a pro. Don't worry, fans, I meant to do that. Just practicing my divot filling in skills."

13. You often want to kill yourself.

"Not. Again. Darn. It. Nobody saw it. Nobody saw it. Deep breaths. You're better than this."

14. Honestly, same

Who hasn't wanted to rip apart their golf glove like a wild animal??

15. I feel that.

"Oh, look. The ball fizzled out just like my dreams of becoming a professional golfer."

16. You have a ~routine~

"Nope. Almost there. Wait! I missed it. Sorry. The club's not ready yet. The grips not right. There we go. Almost there. Nope."

17. Sometimes it's a little extreme

"Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Oooh, God. Okay look at the bird over there. Keep it together, Larry. You are a caddy, for goodness sake."

18. Golfers are superstitious OKAY??

You okay, Charles??

19. Golf etiquette is a serious thing

Repair. Your. Ball. Marks.

20. There are the spoken rules.

Please, for the love of God, rake out your footprints!!

21. Then there are the unspoken ones.

22. You beg people to take care of the golf course so it can look like this all the time and be absolutely beautiful.

*Angels descend from Heaven* *Trumpets blare* *The clouds part and holy light shines down upon the pin*

23. You know the Brians...

Just watch it.

24. From the Tigers...

Just by their stance. And how obnoxious they are.

25. But you also know that everyone has their bad days.

Tip: watch it with the sound ON.

26. And their unlucky days.

I have no words for this except...I'm so sorry.

27. You've got golf smarts.

You actually go inside when the clubhouse sounds the siren.

And you're smart enough not to be the guy driving the RC car.

28. And, finally, you know you're a golfer when it's actually fun!

So go out there and have fun!

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.
