To all those who have not been introduced to the art of roasting, allow me to enlighten you. What is roasting? Roasting is an art form. It is a fight for survival. At least where I went to school, you either learned how to roast or you were destroyed by an onslaught of verbal attacks. In that environment, nobody was safe. You asked a stupid question in class?

ROASTED. You wore your letterman jacket to school? ROASTED. You got an F on a test? ROASTED. You got an A on a test? ROASTED. You tweeted "I love my family?" Someone would probably roast you. You posted a selfie? God have mercy on your soul because you were about to get ROASTED. As hostile as this sounds, at least you developed some thick skin and became immune to everything that everyone else finds offensive.

Nevertheless, if you follow these quick steps, you can defend yourself in the event that someone is about to roast you.


1. The "Fersure"

Yes, this is misspelled. Don't ask me why it isn't "for sure" because I don't really know. Anyway, if you are ever in an argument and someone says something stupid, "the fersure" is your go-to. By agreeing with them like a smart-ass, you will most likely win the roast.

Example: "Lacrosse is the hardest sport anyone can do."
"Ohh lax is tough dude? Lax life or no life? Ah, fersure! You're right!"


2. The "Oh Dude"

This one is the set up to any roast. You should begin your roast with "oh dude," 94 percent of the time. It is proven to easily get underneath someone's skin. It is a flawless approach.

Example: "I just finished lifting."
"Oh dude, lift dude? Gainz dude? You think you're big or something?"


3. The "You're Mad!"

When someone is mad, and you constantly tell them that they are mad, they will get even more mad. If you are good enough they might even get "so mad" which is the next level of mad.

Example: "Oh dude, mad dude? You mad? Yeah you're mad!"


4. The "Sick"

You can use the "sick" on two different occasions. The first is when someone says something that is either dumb, irrelevant, or you just really don't care about. The second is used as a go-to roast that you can include in just about anything.

Example 1: "I just got a Tacoma-Beast sticker for my truck."
"Sick."
Example 2: "I just got accepted to Harvard!"
"Oh so you think you're sick? You must be soooo smart dude! Teach me to
be as sick as you."


5. The "Hand Point"

The hand point, as demonstrated in the cover photo, is essential to any roast. It is the formal declaration of war. If someone points their hand towards you, you better be ready because it's about to go down.

With these five steps, and with a few years of training, you are on your way to becoming a born-again savage.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
