Mermaids are one of my favorite mythical creatures along with unicorns and fairies and dragons. Who wouldn't want to be one? They have so many qualities they have that would be so much better than just my human abilities!

1. They have really long hair!

All mermaids have super long hair! Granted, I could too, but they always have the perfect length. Plus, they have great hairstyles to go along with it.

2. They can breathe underwater.

How many times have you tried to hold your breath underwater and only lasted about 30 seconds to a minute tops? Imagine if you didn't have to hold your breath anymore!

3. They don't need to shave their legs.

As women, we all have those days when we could care less about having smooth legs. Well, as mermaids, we wouldn't have to worry about it at all, because we would have a tail!

4. Traveling is so much easier for mermaids.

According to various movies, mermaids can swim pretty fast. S,o if I wanted to go across the country or to another part of the world, I could just swim there. Plus, no need to spend money.

5. They can live in the ocean.

One of the most amazing places in the world is the ocean! In addition to the beach and the waves, there are tons of animals and fish that make the ocean a heavily desired place for me. Being able to live there and constantly explore and be a part of a hidden world would be amazing.

6. Mermaids have incredible singing abilities.

One thing mermaids are widely known for are their voices. Whether it's to lure a fisherman in or just singing during their downtime, they have beautiful voices and songs that make anyone's heart melt! I have always loved to sing.

7. They don't need to waste time deciding what to wear!

I spend countless hours trying to figure out what to wear. Sometimes I even try on five different outfits before I decide to go with the first one I had on. I would love not having to decide on clothes every day!

8. They have no worries.

Who needs to worry when you're swimming around in the ocean all day?

9. They can indulge in unlimited sunbathing

I love when I can feel the sun beating down on me and I have gorgeous tan skin! As a mermaid, that would be my only job!

10. Mermaids don't need to work for a living or worry about money.

This might just be the best benefit of them all -- not needing money to survive and not having to have a job to get money to survive!

With all this cold weather approaching, I wish I was a mermaid more than ever! Besides, all of these are great benefits. Don't you wish you were a mythical ocean creature?

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?
