To The Boys Who "Don't Want A Relationship"

Don't chase someone just to let them go.

To The Boys Who "Don't Want A Relationship"

I'd like to know when caring about another person became such a negative thing. If you have an interest in someone, why would you ever waste that? But hey, I hear you buddy, Some girls are clingy. Your last relationship ended badly. You like your space and just doing your thing. After all, who needs a relationship anyway? Your head and heart can debate all it want. Being single at a young age is totally fine but the problem is one day you're going to meet a great girl who you will fall for.

The hard part will come eventually because doing relationship- like things will make her want a relationship. A silly boy will most likely respond with "I'm just going with the flow, you're great but....."

When you say you don't want a relationship she isn't going to stay and wait... unless that girl is me.

Update to all boys: You do want a relationship. I know this because you like doing all the relationship things, like texting all the time, sharing personal details, being together, the list is endless. You just don't want the title. It is ironic that boys put in so much effort to get the girl only in the end to say that they "don't want a relationship". What is even more ironic is that boys say they just want to hook-up but in the end it never lasts long because that girl doesn't give two shits about you.

A real girl will be nervous because of every boy in the past who was just going with the flow, doesn't want anything serious, or just likes to have you on the side. What this boy is really saying is "I like you but I don't want to know if this could be a real relationship."

Dating doesn't mean you can't hang out with your friends, go to the bars with the boys, or just do something alone. And it doesn't mean you will be joined at the hip. I don't understand why boys think a relationship is a jail sentence.

Don't chase someone just to let them go. Don't talk to someone everyday if you don't want a connection. Don't do relationship things if you don't want a relationship.. It's not hard to be platonic. But don't squash your feelings if you found someone you connect with.

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.
