Everyone experiences heat breaks differently, but there are a few things every girl with a broken heart is tired of hearing. Getting your heart broken takes a lot out of someone. They're going through a lot, and maybe even some things they aren't telling you, so here's a list of things that I wish people would stop telling me when I am struggling with heartbreak.

1. You're better off without them.

Yeah, maybe that's true. But it sucks hearing that and thinking you've wasted time on something you thought was meant to be. We never thought we would have to be without them in the first place and we still don't want to be even though that's the turn life decided to take.

2. It will get better.

We all want it to get better. Nothing is worse than barely being able to get out of bed or have your thoughts consumed by someone who has broken you. It's hard to forget someone who you've made countless memories with.

3. Don't think about him.

All I can say to this one is one big fat ? How do you expect someone to just put up all road blocks to the brain and just not think about someone they've invested so much time in? If you figure out a logical answer, please let me know. When even your dreams are filled with thoughts about him, there is no escaping it.

4. You deserve better.

This may also be true, but if we wanted better, we would've been the one breaking it off, not the other way around.

It takes time, sometimes a lot of time. It's hard to lose someone you care about, especially if they were your best friend too. My advice to the girl with a broken heart is to not be afraid to cry it out. There is nothing wrong with being upset or crying in the middle of the dance floor at 1 am (even though you may look a little insane). No one really knows what you're going through, and it's okay to grieve in your own way. It hurts, I know it does. I wouldn't wish a broken heart on anyone, especially the ones who don't deserve it.

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.
