You Need the Right Guy

It's Hard to Say No, But It Is the Right Thing to Do.

"Ugh hes so boring."

"Hes so stable, but I dont know."

"I know hes nice, but he doesn't excite me."

*After first date* "I just cant see myself marrying a guy like him."

Be honest, we've all said this at one point or another. Not to say good guys arent any fun. Its just... they arent as much fun. Theres something satisfying to seeing the "bad boy" clean up just for you. But heres the thing. Its just not healthy to try too get someone too change for you. Nor is it healthy to change for someone else. So, why not go for the guy that needs the least work?

Okay, I am not saying the "good boy" is perfect, but when doors are open for you and meals are paid for, not much can be better. There is something to be said about being respected. And that is what the "good boy" does. Your time means something to him. You arent just a way to fill the blank space in his day. It does feel good too be someone he notices when he is busy, but it is not worth not being noticed all the rest of the time. He does not deserve your time if you are not worth his. It feels bad when the "bad boy" does not treat you well, but it makes the good times feel THAT much better.

Heres the thing: "good boys" dont do that. They know that they are lucky to have you. They dont take you for granted. Take my advice. Date a "good boy." You wont regret 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.
