If you're like me and can see the obvious differences between freshman and seniors, here are seven things that might give you a laugh:

1. Getting out of bed.

Freshman: Wakes up 2 hours before class, does their makeup, picks out a cute outfit.

Senior: Wakes up 30 minutes before class and throws on some gym shorts that probably need to be washed.

2. Attitude on the first day of school.

Freshman: "I can't wait to see who's in my classes and to meet my professors!:

Senior: "I wish it was still summer."

3. School supplies.

Freshman: Pencils, pens, dry erase markers, post it notes, six notebooks, four binders, and a partridge in a pair tree.

Senior: iPhone and a charger.

4. Tiredness.

Freshman: Awake, ready to party, stays up until 2a.m. and wakes up for their 8a.m.

Senior: Goes to bed at 9p.m. and wakes up at noon.

5. Alcohol intake.

Freshman: Three to four beers, feeling pretty good.

Senior: Five shots of something extra strong and feeling nothing.

6. Listening to your professor.

Freshman: "Wow, this is really cool and interesting."

Senior: "What they hell are they talking about?"

7. Forgetting about an assignment.

Freshman: "Oh my gosh, I'm going to fail."

Senior: "Oh well, better luck next time."

8. Parking.

Freshman: Parks in the areas their parking pass permits them to.

Senior: Parks in illegal spots and gets at least one parking ticket a week.

9. Eating.

Freshman: "Let's get something from the dining hall."

Senior: "I'd rather starve than eat anything from the dining hall."

10. Seeing a dog on campus.

Freshman: Freaks out and cries tears of joy.

Senior: Freaks out and cries tears of joy.

I hope you all can relate the way I can!

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?
