Through thick and thin.

10 Signs You've Found Your Person
We Heart It

We all have that one person who is “our person”. Maybe it’s your best friend, maybe it’s the person you’re dating. Whoever it is, the two of you just click in a way that you never have with anyone else. Here are just a few of the many ways to know that you’ve found your person.

1. They know you better than anyone.

They know how grumpy you are in the mornings, which is why you live on coffee. They know that you have a hard time sleeping, but once you’re out, you’re out for 12 hours. They know how to tick you off for fun, how to cheer you up when you’re down, and how frequently you sing in the car. You’re totally yourself when you’re with them, no holding back.

2. When something happens, you go to them.

This isn’t even just with the big things. You text them when you get overly excited about seeing a dog on campus, when the people in the room next to you are playing "Hit the Quan" on repeat at 2 a.m. again, or when you find out Sonic has 89 cent burgers. This is probably the reason you never run out of things to talk about.

3. Your texting conversations would make no sense to anyone else.

They barely make sense to you.

4. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, as long as you’re with them.

You honestly could care less if you’re going on some big adventure (which the two of you often do), or sitting around watching the Game Show Network in your basement. You just love being around them.

5. Likewise, you’ve even spent some of your time together running errands or napping.

“If I fall asleep, wake me up when the movie’s over.”

6. Your phone is filled with blackmail pictures of them.

Like that one where you turned their nose into a hawk or the one where they look like an egg. You didn’t nickname them “Eggy” for weeks without reason.

7. You’ve gotten to know their family well.

It’s bound to happen when you bring each other around so much. You’ve hung out with their little sister and gone on long car rides with their mom. You also have heard enough funny stories about them to fill in the gaps.

8. When you don’t see them for a week, it feels like a month.

And somehow you still feel like you have so much to catch them up on. How much can really happen in one week?

9. And yet, if it’s been longer, you have no problem picking up where you left off.

Sometimes seeing each other is hard. Despite that, you never lose even a small piece of your relationship to distance and time.

10. The two of you can withstand anything.

Even if you argue over something stupid, or even something big, you can get past it. You know what you’d be losing, and it’s not worth it. They’re your person through thick and thin, and that’s never going to change.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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.
