More often than not, we let our decisions get the best of us. We make rash decisions when we're angry or when we're incredibly sad. If you're like me, you often come to regret a lot of these decisions. Sometimes, even though it's hard, you need to take a deep breath and think it all out. Better yet, just wait until you sleep it off and figure out if you still feel the same in the morning.

In any case, here are 13 things you definitely shouldn't rashly decide on when you're deep in your feels.

Cut your hair. 

Don't do it. You might grow to hate that short hair in a couple of days. You should really think about it before you do it. Your hair is sacred.

Text that guy. 

Abort mission.

Binge eat or starve yourself. 

We all love food but don't let your feels mess with your eating habits. Stay healthy!

Watch sad movies. 

You'll just dig yourself into a deeper hole.

Shove chocolate down your mouth. 

We all love chocolate but honestly... you can only handle so many chocolate bars before you break out and feel worse.

Listen to sad songs. 

This will just exacerbate your sad mood.

Overthink. 

I am the worst over-thinker in the world so I definitely can't talk but trust me, don't make it harder on yourself.

Self-harm. 

Please get help if it gets to this point. I know it's hard but look out for yourself.

Pluck your eyebrows. 

You're literally asking for over-plucked, insanely thin eyebrows.

Bite your nails. 

Do yourself a favor and keep your hands away from your mouth.

Get a tattoo. 

Wait until you've actually thought it out and decided you actually want one.

Drink. 

Don't binge drink just just because you're sad. It won't make it any better.

Do drugs. 

Once again, it will just make everything worse. Don't do anything until you're in the right head space.

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.
