Stop treating us like blind fools.

Why You Need To Stop Saying You Have A Flirty Personality

Millions of women – men, even – around the world are saying they have a “flirty personality” right now. Why? They’re saying this because they got caught flirting with someone. Why else justify it? Saying “I have a flirty personality” is such an easy excuse to use. But that’s just it – it’s an excuse.

Stop saying you have a flirty personality. In my experience, this phrase normally comes up when someone gets caught flirting with somebody they shouldn’t have been flirting with: someone else’s boyfriend or girlfriend.

Now, I do agree, flirty personalities do exist. But, you see, it’s not that hard to tell the difference between having a flirty personality and actually flirting; and if you weren’t in the wrong, you wouldn’t feel the need to justify it. By justifying you flirting with someone’s significant other by saying you have a “flirty personality,” you’re not only calling that person a liar, you’re calling them stupid.

By saying you have a “flirty personality” and that we’re just mistaking your personality for outright flirting, you’re telling us we’re too stupid to know the difference. But, we do know the difference. We can see the difference between your flirty personality with one guy and you blatantly trying to “get with” another guy.

So stop saying you have a flirty personality, and just be honest. It’s not like you’re fooling anybody, anyways. We all know when somebody is aimlessly "flirting," because it's how they act with everybody. But if you start calling somebody pet names out of nowhere, or finding every opportunity to touch them, and you don't treat everybody else like that - and trust me, we can see if you treat everyone else like that - then it is not your personality. It's you trying to fool everybody, and it's not working

You don’t have a flirty personality; you’re just trying to get a guy who is off limits. So, please, stop treating us like blind fools, stop trying to be a home wrecker, and find a guy who isn't in a relationship. Because it's not your "flirty personality" leading you to act like that; it's your selfish desires doing it, and we're not fooled.

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.

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.
