...and some weird facts to go along with them.

10 Fruits You Should Be Eating
Rebel Dietitian

Why hello everyone! Here is my top ten list of fruits. It's a weird article, I know. But! It's never too late to learn some weird facts.

10. Bananas

Bananas are fantastic. Not only do they help with anxiety (eat them before you go on stage!), but they are also a phenomenal source of potassium. Plus, they are yellow! The happiest color.

9. Watermelon

Watermelon on a hot, summer day is maybe the most satisfying food. If you want to get really weird, you can drink the juice with a straw. Try it.

8. Apples

There is nothing better than going apple picking with your friends and family in autumn -- leaves crinkling under your feet, rotten apples all around. Biting into a fresh apple is such a good feeling. Plus, you can literally make anything out of apples - apple sauce, apple pie, kale and apple soup - you name it.

7. Oranges

They have vitamin C and fiber! What more can you possibly want? Also, if you peel an orange and light the little wick shape on the inside of the peel, it makes a candle. They're sweet, they're juicy, and they're orange. You can eat them after a soccer game, or just for a snack. But don't get the juice on your paper cuts! That burns.

6. Grapes

Red or Green? Grapes are pretty rad. They have cultural significance in Spain, in Judaism, in Italy... lots of significance. And they taste real good.

5. Nectarines

They're just so ... juicy. What more can you say about nectarines?

4. Strawberries

You can put these red fruits in anything. A bowl, a bowl with ice cream, a smoothie, and probably lots more. Have you ever seen a seedless strawberry? All I will say is that it's pretty weird.

3. Raspberries

Raspberries are definitely one of the best fruits out there. You can put them in smoothies, cereal, and even ice cream or frozen yogurt. Or just plain YOGURT! Phenomenal fruits they are.

2. Kiwis

One time we were at a carnival and this man was eating a kiwi with the skin on. Naturally, we asked: "Why are you eating it with the skin on!?" and he was so nonchalant about it. That's when it all started. Believe me. Eat them with the skin on. The skin is what makes the experience. Plus, it has most of the nutrients.

1. Pomegranates

OKAY - HANDS DOWN, pomegranates are the best fruits. But you really have to get the seeds yourself to have the full experience. Take a pomegranate, slice off the top, score the top, and then gently free the seeds from the fleshy fruit in a bowl of water. Then, strain the bowl of water, add a little sugar if you want, and enjoy!


Well, here you have it folks. Go eat some fruit. Especially pomegranates.

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.
