Just broke it off with your old boo? Stepping back into the dating world after a few years of flying solo? Don't know the first thing about going on a date? Have no fear, "The Bachelor" contestants are here! This past winter, everyone's favorite guilty pleasure reality show, "The Bachelor," celebrated its 20-year anniversary, and boy, do we have a lot to be thankful for. Countless laughs, many ridiculously attractive men and – perhaps the most important of all – a wonderful array of dating tips. After all, "The Bachelor" is a completely realistic show featuring a close look at what dating really is like. Thank you, "Bachelor."

1. Remember to ask the right questions.

How much money do you have? When are we eating? Are you in love with me?

2. Always make an entrance.

Show your date you're not just anyone. He is lucky to be with you.

3. If your date takes you out to eat, be sure to keep to yourself when the meal is served.

Chances are, your date might also like the meal you ordered. By no means should you let them think you are sharing. You are not sharing. Keep to yourself during meal time and never go home hungry.

4. Hide yo wife, hide yo kids and hide yo emotions.

Your date stood you up? He called you the wrong name? Thinks you're 30 but you're actually 22? If you have to cry, make sure to go do it in a forest somewhere no one can see you. Thank you, Brittney.

(Or, in your limo.)

5 Keep it real.

People just want to know the real you. Hit them with truth and never look back.

6. Show your skills.

You can read backwards? Can put your left food behind your head? Know another language? Whatever your talent may be, show it off! Don't hold back!

(Spanish translation: "table...green")

7. Dates love gifts.

8. Be straight forward.

Is your date boring you? Would you rather be at home cuddling up with your dog and watching Netflix? Then get the heck out of there (but not before dessert comes)!

8. Be mysterious.

When your date asks a question, make sure you don't give an answer. Keep him guessing, and he'll practically be begging for a second date. Remember ladies, mysterious is sexy.

9. Be persistent.

Sometimes, guys just don't realize how great you are. (Foolish, I know.) But have no fear, that's nothing a little aggressive behavior can't fix! Find your inner Olivia, and show your date your crazy side. Go for the gold!

10. Always assume there is another woman (and do it quick).

11. Keep it cool when your date asks for a round two.

You totally go on dates all the time. It's no big deal. Honestly, whatever.

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?
