How to be a Professional Teenager

College sophomore Virginia Mosoreti has just started her Youtube channel. She is a floormate of mine and a great friend of mine, so I may seem biased, but her first video is hilarious and quite informative. As she will be turning twenty years old soon, she is a "professional teenager." Here are her five steps on how to master the teenage years.

1. Love Yourself

Love yourself, be proud of yourself, and believe that you are beautiful. Virginia says, "You've gotta love yourself and your imperfections." Ignore society. "Tell yourself that you're pretty."

2. Have fun!

Just have fun, but be safe! She mentions a time that I was with her, along with two other friends, and we almost got hit by a train. So, be safe but still have fun.

3. Be crazy!

Don't be normal, be crazy. Who cares what others think and enjoy being crazy. Just enjoy life and don't be afraid to do crazy things (with caution).

4. It's okay to cry.

Being a teenager is rough, and sometimes you just wanna cry. That's totally okay. "It doesn't make you a baby. It doesn't make you weak." It's okay to have emotions.

5. Be human.

We are all human. We all have skin, we have emotions, we burp. We all do things that humans do. It's as simple as that. Just be human and don't feel embarrassed to be so.

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.
