Reasons To Stay In With Your Best Friend
Victoria Leigh Keiser

We've all been there. You are exhausted from a long week of work and the idea of going out is daunting. You had these plans for a week, but something about them just doesn't seem right. Your best friend shoots you a text asking what the plans are and you're relieved when she mentions the possibility of staying in. As you throw on your pajamas, you pop the cork and tell your best friend to come over. Why go out when you can spend some quality time, gossiping and laughing with your favorite person on the planet? The perks of staying in with your BFF heavily outweigh the stress of going out. Here are the pluses of your night in:

1. You Don't Have to Dress Nice

Why bother doing your hair and makeup when you know your best friend is going to love you for you?



2. You Can Eat All Your Best Friend's Food

Instead of counting your calories, forget your diet and raid the pantry (for free!) with your bestie!


3. You Can Drink Wine Until the Sun Comes Up

No need to worry about spending too much money on alcohol when you have plenty of wine to go around.



4. You Don't Have to Worry About Drama

But you sure can catch up on the latest gossip!



5. Transportation Isn't A Worry

Who needs Uber? Your best friend's house is basically your home too. Don't worry about driving because you are safe and sound with them.



6. You Don't Have To Spend A Ton of Money

Instead of worrying about your budget, 'Treat Yo Self' to a night of free movies and endless popcorn.




7. You Don't Have To Worry About Entertaining Them

Sitting around and playing on your phones together can be just as fun as hitting the clubs.



8. You Can Ugly Cry To All Your Favorite Chick Flicks

Enough said.



9. You Can Listen to Any Type Of Music You Want

Don't worry about what the DJ is going to play -- country, pop, musicals, you are in control.



10. You Can Laugh Together For Hours

Whether it be at a silly joke or a ridiculous TV show, the simplest things could make you and your best friend laugh harder than you would with anyone else.



11. You Can Be The One and Only 'You'

Your best friend knows and loves you, through all your flaws and perfections. You don't need to put on an act to get their attention.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
