Sheldon Speaks!

Big Bang Theory On Deck

Looking back to the shows that I used to watch when I was in high school, I normally smile at all the different shows that I have seen. One show in particular stands out to me. That amazing television series just happens to be "Big Bang Theory."

Why, you may be wondering, does "Big Bang Theory" stick out to me? It may be the fact that the series is full of laughter and jokes. Well, that is true. It is full of laughter, but that is not the reason that I have thought of this show. What about the roller coaster relationship between Penny and Leonard? Wrong again!

What about how the character, Sheldon, is portrayed in the show? Yes! In going through my first semester in college, I have come to understand that Sheldon represents me in more than one aspect of my life. (When you read this, understand that this is all a joke!)

Here's how:

1. Sheldon is sarcastic with his logic.

My friends have been frustrated with me on more than one occasion for my sarcastic remarks. A common phrase that they hear is, "To be technical." Similar to Sheldon's predicament, his friends still chose to stick around and create memories. Unlike Sheldon, I am someone who introduces myself and tries to see if they will take the next step towards friendship.

2. The scientific answer to phrases must be brought up.

Going through high school and college, I have always been a smart student. When someone makes a rhetorical comment or phrase, I tend to have to answer with a rational and strategic reply. I have actually told one of friends this phrase when he said, "Happiness is in the air."

3. Understandably, I know this comment all too well.

Today, a friend of asked if I was insane. I had to tell her with a straight face that if I was insane, that would be a terrible shame. When she asked why, my reply was, "If I was insane and smart, I would be able to hide myself and blend in with the prestigious society before I decided to enact a plan." I am not insane, but her face was priceless when I made that comment. I tend to say the things that make you question my mental capacity.

4. Cats are loyal, and cats do not question intelligence.

I tend to be more attracted to the animals that I see before the people. My Residence Life Coordinator has a dog. Each time I see the dog, I have to pet her. She follows me to my room usually, as well. At home, I have three cats and two dogs that are all loyal, as well. They do not argue with me. They just listen and cherish my company and adoration for them.

5. Hating surprises is the worst. You just have to know everything!

6. When your thought process is spectacular...

I have some of the most random thoughts in my mind. Some of those conversations should actually be heard, but I shall keep them to myself.

7. His morbid ideas are brought up in the show as if they are normal, which is similar to mine.

8. The delivery man trying to be lazy is unacceptable!

9. When coffee is a "gate-way" drug...

Well, coffee was introduced to my life when I was in high school. I told my parents that this will most likely become a major addiction in my life. Now, I drink coffee or hot chocolate every morning. On the weekends, I drink it in the afternoon. If I am not finished with an assignment, I drink coffee at night. The caffeine boost is exponentially glorious.

10. Listen while I explain this complicated game really fast and only once!

11. His awesome memories with friends are proven in photos. Document everything as proof of a wondrous life!


12. Sometimes, sympathy is not in the picture. I can be extremely emotionless without meaning to be.


13. My ideas and Sheldon's ideas shadow one another in understanding.

I hope you laughed. Many of these were jokes.

Good luck, humanity!

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.
