I promise this is not about love.

In just a little over a week all of the people in relationships that you know will be posting pictures of their love lives on the internet. They will be acting as though people actually care about the giant box of chocolates that they received matters. When in reality no one cares. You will sit there and wonder, "Isn't there anything else that these people could be posting about? Why must they rub it in?" The answer to this question is yes. They could be posting about many things! Here are eleven other things to learn about from, Elite Readers, and look at instead of the love lives of the people around you. Do not sit and be sad, read this article.

1. Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to the 18 million people whom have a birthday today. I am sorry that you had to be born on Valentines Day. But positives, chocolate giant teddy bears, and flowers go on sale tomorrow, enjoy the next day.

2. Slam Trunk

Do you see what I did there? I know I am a comedian.

3. Eggs

190 Million eggs are being laid today. By chickens that is.

4. Random

What happens when you type in the word random image. I was shocked it was not something gross.

5. Your toilet

In one day the world flushes 22 billion times. This is why you shouldn't eat an entire box of chocolate in one day.

6. Amazing

Of course when you type in the word amazing in google images you get a huge mountain spider with a lava mouth. Why wouldn't you get this? If anyone actually knows what this is, let me know.

7.Walking

Each person on earth will take an average of 8,000 steps. Before anyone gets angry at this fact, remember I said average. I know for a fact I personally do not take this many steps every day, but on an 'average' day I do and so do you. I wonder how many steps a puffin takes is equal to one human step.

8. Bread Pug

I don't know if it is the time of night or if this is actually that funny, but this cracks me up. How about you?

9.London

93,000 rats are going to be born in London today. How romantic is that?

10. The sky

The night sky is so beautiful. This photo is beautiful.

11. Talking

Each person will say an average of 48,000 words today. I know many people that can do this and even more at times.

Instead of going back to scrolling through those sappy romantic posts on your social media page on the 14th do yourself a favor. I insist that you go out, buy some ice cream and have a Netflix night. This day will come and go soon enough, it is not worth being depressed over. Have a great day!

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.
