Living on your own opens up numerous opportunities which can range from choosing your own bedtime without judgment or to eating junk food all day, every day. You may even decide to start string together sentences that contain more swear words than what could come out of a trucker's mouth. While it's all fun and games for awhile, eventually you'll spend time around your parents again or get a job with small children in which it would be frowned upon to repeatedly drop the f bomb. I'm here to save your behind (not that other word you're used to using) and offer up some alternative words and phrases.

For insults and name calling:

1. Lint licker!

2. You fool of a Took!

3. Son of a dishwasher (watch "Robots" and you'll get it)!

4. Idiot.

5. Communist!

6. You dip!

7. You lying piece of trash!

8. Donald Trump!


For exclamations:

9. Blast!

10. Double blast!

11. Blast and drat!

12. Dag nab it!

13. Shucks!

14. Darn it!

15. Mother trucker!

16. Aw, fudgesicles!

17. I'm going to beat you with a stick!


When in doubt:

Go with unintelligible muttering. Imagine those cartoon characters with the overlapping lines drawn above their heads.

Create your own:

Just about every swear word has a harsh "ch," "sh," or "ck" sound. To avoid frowned upon language, try building your very own arsenal of fake cusses using those very same sounds!

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.
