How to Trick Some Dude Into Dating/Marrying You Using Heteronormativity

Because men are objects to be caught or trapped, why shouldn't women also be pickup artists?

1. Use jokes. Guys like jokes. Make jokes and laugh at their jokes. A sense of humor shows that you're "one of the guys" and also feminine and totally not one of the guys, because gross. The point is: humor is sexy. Particularly in the form of jokes. (Get confused while telling or hearing raunchy jokes. Butcher the punchline or pretend not to know what a "blue" word means. You don't want to appear TOO savvy, you know?)

2. Don't hug him unless he asks for a hug in writing. When the submission has been approved by a committee of your most religious friends, don't fully embrace him but cross yourself as he embraces you. You don't want to appear easy. If he accidentally gets sideboob you'll both feel awkward, and he'll judge you for making him feel that way. Don't be that chick. That chick is the worst.

3. Demand he puts a ring on it before you agree to a drink. He'll know you value yourself.

4. In every picture, be laughing. Men like fun, carefree girls. Even when there's no camera, freeze yourself in a laughing expression.

5. Tell him he's literally the fastest runner in the world. Or that he probably has a big penis and you can't wait to find out for sure on your wedding night. Just throw random, borderline ridiculous compliments at him while hinting at wedding details. "I bet you're good at farming! And capable of fathering many children!" He'll be more aroused than creeped out.

6. Be barefoot. It shows how laid back and low maintenance you are. Also be in the kitchen, even if you're not cooking. You could be scrapbooking, knitting or doing something equally domestic and erotic. But you: barefoot and in the kitchen. He'll get the hint.

7. Talk about how inappropriately close you are to your daddy. It will make him jealous and want to be the alpha male, to compete with your dad by claiming you as his.

8. Openly mock feminism, but don't come across as excessively racist. That will show you're non-threatening.

9. Order a salad, then don't eat more than half of it. But don't be wasteful! Ask for the rest of it to go. It will show him you care about your body and his money.

10. Talk about ethics and morals, but not specifically what you think is moral/ethical. Just explain that you think morals and ethics are good and important. Avoid expressing your political opinion beyond the phrase "I agree."

11. Talk about how much you love your women friends, but just as friends. Unless he seems into it. Then talk about how much you love making out with women, but just as friends. Try to dance that delicate line that puts in his head the picture of you with other women, but avoids sexual agency.

12. Wear clothes. The right clothes. Clothes that suggest you're dying to get hitched, but not desperate for a husband. Dying, not desperate. It's a crucial difference. The point is, be a lady. Wear "lady" clothes. You know? Of course you do.

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.
