I Genuinely Love Tinder

Just like everything else in life, Tinder is what you make it.

Tinder is a very strange app. For those of you who aren't familiar, with the app you swipe left on people who you aren't interested and right on those you are crushing on. You can set which gender or both if that what you're into,and an age range for example 19-23 years old, and you will only seen people in that range. A person can have 1- 6 photos, and a short bio; that's a slim bases to judge someone on so it's risky. When you both swipe right on each other, you then become a match. After the match is established you can then message each other a funny joke or a witty pick up line.

One of my favorite features is the un-match button. So you match with a cutie, but they sent you something totally weird; you can un-match them right then and they are unable to send you anymore messages.

Nine times out of ten you're going to see someone you know. You can either ignore them or swipe right on them like I do to make sure they know you saw their profile unless it's your brother (personal experience).

Tinder has caught this bad reputation being known for hook up's. However, as I mentioned above the nice un-match feature, as soon as someone brings up anything I am not comfortable with I simply hit un-match, easy.

Truthfully, I have come across many guys who I ended up being not as romantically interested in, but I have made numerous friendships. I have a large number of friends I hang out with often all thanks to Tinder.

It's not all about hook up's or even relationships unless that's what you're looking for. Just like everything else in life, Tinder is what you make it.

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.
