“And even if you don’t have material possessions, pretending like you have your sh*t together is the best way to have your sh*t together until you actually do.” – The Betches


1. Talk about how much you love yoga

“I do yoga. It relieves my stress and anxiety.” - People will literally think you’re an evolved species of human.

2. Leggings. Are. Everything.

Number one lazy girl rule: When in doubt – leggings. They are basically the greatest invention of all time and you will absolutely never regret wearing them.

3. The messy bun – embrace it, love it.

The messier, the better. Love the messy bun and work it.

4. Starbucks

Not basic if you order a black coffee or single expresso - except that it tastes like dog sh*t. Just order your pumpkin spice latte like a basic girl and keep rockin’ your messy bun.

5. Read books in public places – then Instagram it

Since no one you know will actually see you reading.

6. Use a planner

Extra points if you have a brand name planner. You might actually have your sh*t together. Or, you’re just trying to stunt on the peasants with the target brand planners. Either way, you’re giving off the impression that you care about things. #adulting

7. Iron your damn shirt

You look like a piece of sh*t that threw up on another piece of sh*t when your shirt is wrinkled. Just iron your shirt before your boss sends you home for looking like sh*t.

8. Silently nod when someone talks to you about the news

Trump. Hillary. *nod* Now you can talk about the cute puppy video you saw on Facebook this morning.

9. Snapchat yourself in workout clothes

A fierce selfie in gym clothes with the caption of a muscle arm emoji will definitely make people think you’re fit and healthy. So, even if you never set foot in a gym, you can fool people into thinking that you take spinning classes and like cardio.

10. Bad B*tch Alert

Hold your head up high, save your smiles for those who deserve them and let the world know that you’re the HBIC. Attitude is everything when you're faking 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.
