The 6 Kinds Of People You Meet At Parties
Sweet Dreams

It's Friday, or Saturday night (or in some cases, even Thursday night) so you are out with your friends. You are having a good time, and meeting all sorts of people, like:

1. The Blacked Out Freshman

This is the girl, or boy, who has had just a little too much. They are easy to spot, as they can be found running around, doing the kinds of things that are not usually socially acceptable, being obnoxiously loud, dancing in ways that make you cringe, or sharing information that most people don't want to know. If you can, find their friends so they can make it home before they do anything that they will regret.

2. The Party Mom

Commonly a girl, but I guess it could be a boy, who is the most sober out of a group. She is constantly trying to gather her "children", also known as her friends who have probably had enough to drink. She is the one that makes sure everyone makes it home safely, drinks enough water, and takes away the not-needed drinks. Going out without her is not really recommended, but if you choose to, best of luck.

3. The Social Butterfly

You have probably seen this person around before, or at least it seems like you have, because they seem to be everywhere. They introduce themselves to you, to the person next to you, to the guy upstairs and the couple on the porch, perhaps even more than once. They ask you about yourself, what your major is, what year you are. And by the end of the night, this person has a bunch of new numbers in their phone, now whether or not they'll remember who you are, is another story.

4. The Prospective Student

You can usually spot this person because he or she looks scared, out of place, and perhaps even uncomfortable. When you talk to them, they are usually embarrassed to be a prospie, but if they tell you, they've heard how college students try to show prospies a good time.

5. The Waiting Senior

They have been to plenty of parties during their college years. They have seen it all, now they just want to do more adult things, and go to the bars. But first, they must spend some time participating in the college party scene, until it is late enough to head off to the bars.

6. GNO (Girls Night Out)

These are a group of girls that decided that this is their well-deserved night out. Chances are that at least one of them is upset with a boy. You can find them dancing in a group, taking all sorts of pictures to share on Instagram the next morning, or holding hands in a line as they try to find the bathroom.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
