What a man

Why do we love the character, Chuck Bass? Here are 10 things we love about him and more. The man with a past, a lover, a fighter and a drinker of sorts. Here is why, "Gossip Girl" fans love Chuck!

1. He is original.

He is one an a million. There is not really a character in the show like him. I mean, he is the interesting one, let's face it. You hate him at first and then he pulls you in.

2. He has a dark history.

Between his relationship with his father, and the mysterious mother. Chuck has had a crazy childhood. He tries to impress his father and never get recognition for anything. He grew up with a cold heart and does not plan on opening up for anyone. He is cynical, mean, and down right awesome.

3. He is complicated -- not your average dude.

So Chuck hides his feelings for Blair, and then shows them. He is also scared of commitment, but knows what he wants. He is a bit of a balance beam, and while watching the show, you literally yell at the screen when he does not go to Tuscany with Blair. His feelings are ultimately. well... complicated.

4. He is the first character Dan Humphrey writes about.

Even though Dan cannot stand him, he finds out Chuck interesting secrets and tries to live dangerously with him as well. Even Dan is a fan of Chuck!

5. He is, well, so very attractive

How can you not stare at him. The way he looks at Blair when she enters a room. How he lays back in the corner observing everybody. When he insults somebody and is spiteful out of nowhere. I just love how he looks down in approval of something. Which oddly makes her Beauty and him the Beast.

6. He, legit, has a private investigator on speed dial.

Whenever he needs to exploit or plot against for those he cares about, he makes a call.

7. The way he loves Blair.

He breaks our hearts. I mean look at that face! They will always be meant to be. Their relationship is like a huge roller coaster throughout the whole show. We choose him every time!

8. He doesn't care if you like him.

He is who he is, and he is not going to change that. Chuck Bass is powerful and he does not care if you like him or not. Deal with it!

9. He still believes in love.

Even with his dark past, his families hysterics, and the corruption that money brings to his world; Chuck Bass has a sensitive side. Even though he does not like to admit it. He seems to be there for those he cares about all of the time. Especially Blair!

10. Deep down, he is your favorite.

What would this show be like without the character Chuck Bass? He brings originality, a crazy past, he breaks our hearts, and he is the kind of man who is written about. There are definitely many Chucks in the world, so come out wherever you are!

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.

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.
