We're Really Not That Complicated

An abbreviated guide on what women are really thinking.

We're Really Not That Complicated
new now next

Okay so lately I've been hearing a lot of people talking about how they don't understand women and it's kind of confusing to me. Maybe it's because I'm probably one of the lowest-maintenance people you'll ever meet, but a lot of women out of there can probably identify with me. I feel like the image of women being hormonal/angry that's perpetuated by society is unfair, making it somewhat difficult to destroy the stereotype. I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I'm just hangry and won't tell you what's wrong, but I'll usually be honest with you. Guys, you should take notes.

1. "I'm fine."

Okay so this one could go either way. Is she smiling or do her eyes look blank? If you chose the second one, she is definitely not fine. You better start apologizing now. She probably wouldn't mind a bouquet of roses. Or chocolate. If she was really smiling, it's okay to just believe her. Don't keep bugging her about if she's actually fine or not, because that actually might make her irritated with you.

2. "What do you want for dinner?" "Oh I don't care."

Sometimes she might actually not care about where you go, but sometimes it's just a statement that attempts to see how much you actually listen to her when she talks about her favorite and least favorite foods. I hate most breakfast foods, so I just hope that with enough times I've ranted about my hatred for pancakes, you won't suggest IHOP.

3. "Oh that looks like it'd be interesting!"

This is an indicator that she probably wants to go do/see whatever you just talked about. This is also kind of a bait to see if you'd be willing to do things that she likes. I really don't 100% love football, but if the guy I'm talking to/dating wants to watch a game, you better believe I'll be there trash talking the refs and yelling at the kicker for missing the field goal.

4. "Wow, he got her the prettiest flowers."

Okay so I definitely have done this before. If I make it a point to tell my significant other about someone else's life and relationship, it probably means I wished he'd do something similar for me. I really could only get flowers once and be fine because they die anyway, but it's the thought that counts. Actually, just get her something she likes. I would probably be happier about getting a box combo from Cane's, so adjust according to the woman!

5. And the famous "What did you just say?"

Chances are, she probably heard what you said. And she didn't like it. You should quickly reevaluate how you just came across and sincerely apologize.

See guys, this is a shortened version on the guide to women. If you follow these guidelines, you and your lady might have a much less tense relationship.

Disclaimer: Not all women are the same so please adjust to suit the personality of your significant other.

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.
