If you were to name one app that involves gay men, odds are you would say Grindr. Not familiar with the app, well here is a quick explanation here. Now as a member of the Grindr community, let me just say it is interesting. The different personalities that show up in the app are so diverse it's hard to explain. But I'm not here to talk about the diverse personalities. I am here to give you tips and tricks to get that guy 3,845 feet away to slide into your dm's.

1. Get yourself a new profile picture.

Yes, I am sure your current one is great and the lighting is perfect, but clearly somethings not right with it because you are resorting to this for help. Trust me, there is nothing wrong with switching up the look of your profile.

2. Update your tag line.

You know that line of like 15 characters. Throw something up there and be creative, and don't be afraid to switch it around and update it every few days.

3. #masc4masc

We get it. Masc4Masc. You don't need it every other word on your profile.

4. Your bio should not be blank.

How do you expect anyone to talk to you if your bio is blank? Give them a look into your personality without disclosing your entire life story. Trust me this is your milkshake and it will bring all the boys to the yard.

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.

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?
