No, It Is Not My Period!

Things you probably shouldn't say to a girl.

There are several moments in life where you're not so sure what to say to someone, more importantly, WOMEN. It doesn't matter how long you sit there and think about what you should say, you can never seem to find the right words. Even sometimes women run into this with other women. Men, you're not alone. Trust me, we know we are confusing and sensitive. Here are a couple things you should probably avoid when talking to a woman and what she's probably thinking when you say the wrong thing..

1. "Are you on your period, is that why you're so grumpy?"

This is probably the worst thing you could ever say to a woman. NO, we're not always grumpy just because we are on our period. Sometimes, you still get on my nerves. It is not my period, it's you.

2. "Is that what you're going to wear?"

Yes, obviously I didn't put it on for fun. I wanna wear this, is that okay? Woman do not want you to question them on what they're gonna wear for the day or for the occasion we got dressed up for. If you don't like what she's wearing, then tell her.

3. "Calm down."

I don't need to calm down. You need to give me space before I punch you in the face. This isn't just for women, I am pretty sure this applies to all sexes. Telling someone to calm down makes them even angrier. AVOID THIS AT ALL COST.

4. "I don't care."

You better start caring. Even if you really don't care, you should probably act like you do.

5. "You're Crazy."

WOAH, this is gonna get you a one-way ticket to the dog house. She may be crazy but never tell her that. Girls do not like to be told that they are crazy. It doesn't matter what sentence you put it in, women will always find a way to get mad about it. So, do us both a favor and just don't say it.

6. "My Ex....."

"We don't want to know about your ex. You're going to make us angry when you say that. You ex is your past, keep them there.

7. "Don't take this the wrong way, but..."

Excuse me, back up. I am definitely going to take this the wrong way.

8. "You remind me of (any woman)."

Don't tell us we remind you of another woman, that is only going to upset us.

9. "You ask a lot of questions."

I am curious, get over it. We don't care how you feel about our curiosity, just answer my questions.

10. "I was kidding."

They say that when you're "just kidding", part of what you're saying is true. So, please dont kid around.

I really hope that this helped you at least a little bit. Not every girl gets upset about the same things, so I can't help in all categories. But, this is a majority of the phrases people tend to use that get women pretty heated.

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.
