How to keep your skin clear in 4 easy steps:

1: Make sure the products that you use to wash your skin, such as body gel, are completely scrubbed off before exiting the shower.

2. Drink lots of water! Not only will your skin thank you, but basically every other part of your body will as well--drinking water is basically a win-win situation.

3. Cut out toxic people: don't text them back, don't get coffee with them, don't even think about them. Toxic people=stress, and because you deserve more than having a few of them laying around, cut them out. Even if you're a type of person who values everyone's personal opinions about themselves (like me). Staying awake late at night is for Netflix binging, not stress over people who would not even think about putting themselves in such a giving position as you would. Sure, all relationships need work, but work is a two-way street and is definitely not a one-way street with someone holding eighty pounds of brick on their back, too.

4. Pay more attention to your diet: instead of having desert every meal, pick one meal to treat yourself. Salads may not taste the best, so find healthy alternates that fulfill your vitamin and health category. Or if you're like my mother, you'll find an obscure vegetable to bring to the dinner table. I have noticed that sometimes, not liking vegetables stems from not understanding how to cook them, so investing more time in this department could actually be more helpful

More importantly: acne or any kind of skin blemish does not make you ugly! It is a product of a multitude of factors that are beyond your control

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.
