Valentine's Day Is A Drag

If you've ever been single on Valentine's Day, you're well aware that this Hallmark holiday can be a bit of a bother, especially if you don't have a boo thang. From the awkward spike in PDA to the pressure to get yourself cuffed, February 14th can prove particularly stressful for singles. Valentine's Day can be a drag, but whether you're taken or you're flying solo, you're sure to enjoy these Valentine's Day reaction gifs, taken (of course) from Rupaul's Drag Race.

1. When you make plans to hang out with your single friends and do whatever you want on Valentine's Day


2. ...But your taken friends are off being way too cute together

3. ...And your formerly single pal cancels on Galentine's Day because she got a new man.

4. When your friend's Valentine's outfit is semi-busted

5. ...But she tries to mock you for your frock

6. When you spot your crush sitting alone on the 14th

7. ...And their significant other sits down beside them

8. When your friend shows you the corny, cringe-worthy card they received

9. ...And you realize you don't have to spend money getting anyone else a gift

10. When someone asks why you're still single

11. ...And your clapback is a little too savage

12. Wherever you go, there seems to be an obscene amount of couples acting all lovey-dovey.

13. When you start to think about the fact that Valentine's Day is just a front for companies to capitalize by exploiting our insecurities

14. ...But you're still ready to jump on those low candy prices on February 15th

In conclusion...

Yes. Valentine's Day can be a drag, but it doesn't have to be. With the right people (or the right show to binge-watch), you can forget all about the pressure and the clichés and make your Valentine's Day fabulous, fierce, and absolutely sickening.

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.
