I feel pretty low when I remember I'm five feet tall — pun intended.

One of the biggest nuisances in my life is my height. At five feet tall, I'm short even by Asian standards, much to my ire. Sure, there are perks to being the tiny friend, but when it comes to dating, I wouldn't mind being a couple inches taller. It looks cute from the outside, but trust me, there are all sorts of annoying problems when you're dating someone a foot taller than you.

1. You always get mistaken for his little sister.

Giphy

What gave it away — the hand holding or the kisses?

2. He has to pick you up to kiss you properly.

Giphy

Or just crouch down to your eye-level. That works, too.

3. So forehead kisses are basically non-existent.

Giphy

Unless he wants to break his neck reaching down, of course.

4. You're jealous of every girl with long, slender legs.

Giphy

I can daydream about supermodel legs all I want, but they're never gonna happen.

5. Wearing his shirt or jacket looks more absurd than cute.

Giphy

I thought clothes-sharing was supposed to be the epitome of romance, not a reason to cringe.

6. Slow dancing is just an awkward mess.

Giphy

I can't exactly put my arms around your neck when you're a foot taller than me, so awkward middle school dancing it is.

7. Your pictures look ridiculous unless you're both sitting down.

Giphy

I was hoping for "cute couple" vibes not "the most ridiculous height difference you'll ever see."

There are definitely perks to being short in some of life's situations, but when it comes to dating, it's a bit of a challenge!

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.
