You Know You're Basic When...

Nowadays, calling someone basic and making fun of them for being so basic is extremely common. However, little do we know, we all are a little basic, some of us more than others. Here is how you know just how basic you are.

1. Starbucks

People say you have an unhealthy obsession, and they're right. You go so often you can claim it as an extra meal of the day. You save every year just to drain it all in fall on Pumpkin Spice Lattes.


2. Chipotle is your life

You have loved this chain restaurant even before the famous vine, and you're healthy when eating all that guacamole (avocado is a fruit, right?).

3. A perfect Sunday night is drinking wine while watching "Grey's"

It has drama, love, beautiful actors, and not to mention the fact that you feel like you can save the world after watching just one episode.

4. All you wear are oversized T-shirts

It's the official uniform of basic chicks everywhere (actually... mainly just the South) to wear a T-shirt that is at least two sizes too big with norts.

5. You have at least seven bathing suits from Target

You can't help but to take weekly trips to see if there are any tops and bottoms you can stock up on. There is no such thing as too many bathing suits.

6. You can quote almost every line of "Mean Girls," "Bridesmaids" and "Pitch Perfect"

"I'm ready to PARRRRRTAYYYY", "That's why her hair is so long, it's full of secrets," "aca-scuse me?"

7. You feel the need to post your whole life on Instagram

Pics or it didn't happen, right?

8. You and your best friend have jam sessions to Justin Bieber, T-Swift and Adele

They are blessings to this world and it would be wrong not to scream your heart out to them. Is it too late to say sorry for all of the off-key notes that you're about to hear?

9. You have an unbelievable amount of recipes pinned on your food Pinterest board/ Facebook wall

......but you've only made about 5 of the 500.

10. Leggings are pants

To all of the people that disagree with leggings being pants, they're 100% pants.

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.

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.
