FUN FACT: You are probably lactose intolerant.

Considering that approximately 65% of the world's human population suffers from a lactase deficiency after infancy, the odds are not in your favor. As we grow older, we lose a lot of the lactase enzymes that were necessary for nourishing our bodies as a child.

If you're still in denial, that's okay. Just remember the next time you eat a Dairy Queen Blizzard and reap some less-than-pleasant symptoms...it's the lactose intolerance devil inside of you.

As good old Teddy Rosevelt once said, “nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life." AMEN, Teddy.

Sometimes, the pain is worth the ice cream and queso. Here are 7 signs you're lactose intolerant, but honestly don't care enough to give up dairy.

1. "Are you sure you can you eat that, [insert name here?]


The answer is no, but I'm going to eat it anyway.

2. Ordering food you DEFINITELY should not be ordering.


Because sometimes, it's WORTH THE CHEESE FRIES.

3. Being endlessly taunted by your friends for being unable to consume dairy products.


Natural selection is coming for us.

4. Going to ice cream with your friends, because YOLO.


Don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences.

5. REGRET.


When your stomach starts doing.........the thing - you know it's all over for you.

6. Swearing to never let the evil spirits that are dairy products come near you ever again.


This happens every time, but this time is different!!!

7. But hey, you'll never cry over spilt milk.


How punny.

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.
