Priming is a Crime

Amazon Prime is my current and strongest addiction.

Priming is a Crime

How many of you out there have Amazon Prime? Because I do, and it ruining my life in the best way I could ever imagine. Let me get this completely on the record by saying my name is Maggie and I’m addicting to priming.

I’m a Late Night Primer, it’s probably the worst of the worst because when you’re up late into the hours of the morning, you think everything is a great idea. You really think you need everything on your screen. Did you want to know my last three purchases that were a result of my late night priming issue?

The first? A makeup organizer, something that’s clear with two draws, a few cups and twenty-four small slots for me to put my lipsticks on display, because I’m totally going to school for makeup so I should have this right? I’M NOT. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve primed in the world but definitely not something I needed in my life. However, I guess now I’ll look super organized when I go back to schoolwith all my lipstick on display.

The second thing I primed? A Funko mystery mini Finding Dory figure. In case you didn’t know what this figure was, there’s a company named Funko that makes small figures of characters from different TV shows and movies that come in a fancy package. This one specifically sends mini figures but you don’t know which you are getting, bringing a whole element of surprise to priming…so why not! Click free shipping, and I’ll get it in two days. I now have the cute squid who inks and the grumpy octopus that’s in the new movie. Did I mention I love Finding Dory? It’s my favorite Pixar movie of all time.

The third thing I’ve recently primed was, of course, a WWE tee shirt for the one and only Finn Balor. For anyone who slightly knows me knows I’m utterly obsessed with WWE, it’s a strong passion of mine that I just can’t shake and because of that, I often find myself priming tee shirts and even a lanyard.

So why is it that priming is so easy for me? It’s part quickness and part curiosity. There’s so much you can buy on amazon and you never even need to leave the house to go shopping. You can do it all on your phone or your laptop. The speed is the best part of the deal, getting things in two or three days is the best shipping you could ever possibly get.

However, there is an upside to Priming and that comes in the form of school and dorms. With the new school year rolling around, my textbooks – all primed – came within a week of ordering them which dissolves the hassle of my worrying that they won’t be here in time for class. Especially with ordering things for my dorm room – from tapestries to light fixtures and command hooks – everything I need is within the touch of a button.

So, sometimes it comes with unnecessary items, but Amazon Prime can be the best and the worst thing of the internet and online shopping. Go forth my friends and prime to your heart’s desire but be safe and smart when you do 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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
