It Was Never My Intention

Oldest Excuse in the Book

Thoughtless behavior is spared by the favor of the oldest excuse in the book

It still doesn’t stop us from using or falsely accusing the ones we forsook

It was never my intention to hurt you, I wish we could just get along

but before we part ways and say everything’s okay guess my intentions for writing this song

It was never my intention to give you a black eye, I just swung and didn’t miss

It was never my intention to get drunk and high then crawl into your bed a piss

It was never my intention to tell you my intentions so really I’m bullshitting you

So just say it’s okay, and we'll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

I never meant to offend, didn’t plan or intend did you think that was really enough

That’s the thing you don’t think, if you did then I wouldn’t be sitting here calling your bluff

No more apologies please, not my faults, there’s no room for any alternative facts Just go and sit in time out, take a look at yourself then maybe you’ll clean up your act

It was never my intention to go drinking and driving and kill a pedestrian

Or disinvite you from my party, it was all girls I’m really sorry but I thought you were lesbian

It was never my intention to make you mad but now I’m just trying to please you

So just say it’s okay, and we'll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

On trial for murder, you say that you warned 'em, it was never your intention to shoot, but deep down you realize that he was twice your size and that you’re probably racist too….give it up the intentions were true.

It was never my intention stole your banking information, I kind of just figured it out

It was never my intention to speed up and catch my exit and cut you off in the round about

It was never my intention to find out my real intentions but I think I can fool you

So just say it’s okay and we’ll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
