Anyone who has had problems with their wisdom teeth knows how much of a pain they can be. I, myself, have had the displeasure of spending my entire Spring Break recovering from a good ol’ fashioned extraction. As someone who’s never had a cavity in his life, I felt cheated. Lately, a friend of mine has been complaining to me about how terrible her roommate is. After noticing some incredible similarities, I've noticed that Wisdom Teeth are just your mouth's bad roommates.

You’ve heard of bad roommates before coming to college, but your optimistic and don’t think it’ll happen to you.

Of course you’ve heard about other people having issues with wisdom teeth, but it can’t happen to every one right? However, come one faithful dentist appointment and you find out all your wisdom teeth are impacted. Just like meeting your awful roommate on move in day!

They’ll make your room dirty no matter how hard you try to clean it.

No matter how well you brush, food is still very likely to get stuck in your wisdom teeth. This puts you at a much higher risk of getting a cavity. Those old school Crest commercials that had me believe that all I needed to avoid cavities was the right toothpaste.

When they’re not there you don’t notice them, but as soon as they arrive, they’re just painful to be around.

Everything was fine until your wisdom teeth started growing. Now that they’re officially in your life, they’re starting to become a major nuisance.

The longer they’re with you, the more likely they are to screw up your entire College life.

Having bad roommate can ruin your social life. Their gross habits and unpleasant behavior can scare away all your friends, just as your wisdom teeth crowding out your pallet can be pushing them out of your mouth and leaving them seriously crooked.

They serve no purpose other than making your life miserable.

Honestly, why are they even called "wisdom teeth" if 73% of the population has issues with them? Was it just some clever and ironic pun?

You complain to your RA long enough until he or she decides to help you get rid of your awful roommate, much to your elation.

Your RA is your dentist in this scenario, and when your dentist’s final decides that it’s time to take those little punks out, you couldn’t be happier.

That is until you find out it may be harder to get rid of them than you originally thought.

Your dentist gives you the unfortunate news that this extraction is going to be PAINFUL, just as painful as the bureaucratic mess removing your roommate can be.

You hated every second of them being there, but now that they're gone you finally can appreciate the extra space.

Now that those wisdom teeth are gone, your mouth has space that your other teeth can enjoy!

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.

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.

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.
