I'll admit, I'm fairly new to the nail game. There are so many designs and colors to choose from, and it can be a very tedious, very expensive thing to keep up with. As someone who is always chipping her nail polish or breaking her nails, I decided to try my hand (literally) at acrylic nails. I had heard a lot of positive things about them, how they are durable and look amazing for up to a month before you have to get them filled. Taking the risk, I nervously walked into the nail salon and braced myself for what was to come. I opted for a coffin shape and a maroon color for my first experiment, and the results were honestly shocking.

1. First of all, wow, my nails look amazing.

I say this every time I get them done, but these nails were honestly STUNNING. It was the first time I actually liked the way my nails looked.

2. The shape is everything I'd dreamed of. 

Coffin 4 life. (And it's also recommended by manicurists because its the most durable shape!)

3. I could probably kill a man with these daggers if I wanted to

And that thought has crossed my mind a lot, TBH.

4. My boyfriend is going to ask me to scratch his back forever now

A blessing and a curse.

5. Wait, how do I type on my phone now?

Alright, just gotta take it a little slower...turn on autocorrect....abuse the hell out of the backspace button...

6. Bloody hell, how do I TYPE with these things?!

Giphy

At least my hands look good while I try to keep up with these lecture notes.

7. How do people write with pens and pencils with these things?!

Doing anything revolving my hands is becoming just a little bit tedious.

8. Hey, a whole week has passed and I haven't chipped or broken a nail yet!

This may all be worth it....

9. OK, I'm totally rocking this

Giphy

I've had my ups and downs, and I text a lot slower, but it's all worth 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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
