I am here to reveal the truth about how you sleep.

Some of you may have read articles that explain the meaning behind your sleep position. Whether you are sleeping solo or with a partner, it seems that each position has a hidden meaning behind it. If you're curled up, then you are vulnerable. If you sleep far away from your partner, then you need distance.

Today, I am here to finally explain the TRUE reason why you sleep the way you do, according to my own unofficial and purely non-fact based ideas. Enjoy.

1. The Fetus

While some may say you are sensitive, I believe you are simply a person who enjoys sleeping in the most natural position, the fetus. It gives you the perfect position to hold a cuddly stuffed animal and is ideal for side sleepers. Open to anyone who is quiet or loud or whatever else they want to be.

2. The Freefaller

This person is always ready for a back massage. Laying in the optimum position, they are just waiting for someone to offer them a relaxing bedtime back rub.

3. The Log

I struggle to understand how this person can stay balanced on their side, for I would fall to my back or stomach once I am relaxed. Nevertheless, this person is ready for a quick escape. Forget having to untangle yourself from all those sheets, just roll over on to the floor and you are safe from any harm!

4. The Yearner

Perhaps one of the smartest sleep positions of them all, this person is prepared to either accepted a gentle hug or an offering of food. Their hands are outstretched and ready to grab hold of the nearest bedtime snack.

5. The Soldier

This person has either seen Sleeping Beauty too many times or likes to do the yoga Corpse pose a lot. Either way, this is the easiest sleep position to mess with. Be warned: friends may draw on face with marker or place whipped cream in your hand while tickling you under your nose. Proceed with caution.


BONUS SECTION: Couple Sleeping Positions!

6. The Tangle

The most impressive of all couple sleeping positions, it appears that both parties have given up the notion of being comfortable while they sleep. This sacrifice is all in the name of remaining as close as possible all night long. I applaud you, for I would never be able to maneuver this incredibly tangled and suffocating position.

7. The Unraveling Knot


These people are the smart ones. They start in a tangled love twist and quickly realize that this is not a suitable sleeping position. A for effort, A+ for learning to be comfortable.

8. The Spoon


A classic. The typical yet often uncomfortable position that many couples end up using by default. I personally find this suitable for watching movies and cuddling, but not sleeping. The big spoon is left out to the cold breeze of the night while the little spoon is forced into a claustrophobic ball. Looks cute, not ideal.

9. The Liberty Lovers

My personal favorite, the one known as the "We need some space" position, is not appreciated enough. Despite what some may say, I do not believe that this means a couple is needing distance in their relationship. Rather, I believe that these two people simply do not like laying on top of another person while they are trying to sleep. Honestly, who can blame them?


I hope you all realize that no matter who you are, you can sleep however you want. Your sleep position does not define you. Sweet dreams, folks.

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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
