If you're a college student you understand the struggle of coming home. The packing, the traveling, and the worst part, the questions. The endless stream of questions that everyone asks. You are constantly bombarded with questions by your parents, aunts, neighbors, family friends, local mailman, etc… So the idea of coming home after a while isn't a great one because you know the questions are coming. Here are the 10 questions you know are coming when you come home from college and the sarcastic mental responses.

1. How's school?!

- It’s school, I go to class, I eat crappy food, I cry a little, it's all great.

2. How are your classes?

- My professor secretly hates me and won’t respond to my emails and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to retake the class next semester but ya classes are going amazing.

3. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?

- No if I was dating someone I probably wouldn't be as miserable as I am right now.

4. Why don't you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?

- Maybe it's because I'm ugly, I don't know you tell me why no one finds me attractive.

5. Is it fun living in (insert your location)?

- Ya it's a great time, I stay on campus 95% of the time and the only reason I leave is to get milk and coffee pods so the Walgreens down the street is nice.

6. What do you do on the weekends?

- I try not to think about all the work I'm going to have to do Sunday night while I hangout with people that don't make me hate my life.

7. Do you have any friends?

- Yup they're the only reason I still somewhat enjoy going to school.

8. Are you thinking about transferring?

- I thought about dropping out all together but I'm already to deep into my college career so probably not.

9. What are you doing with the rest of your life?

- I have no idea, and I probably won’t know until about 6 months after graduation when the loan payments roll in and I'm forced to find a job.

10. Do you think (insert random cousin) would like it there?

- They’re 10 years old, instead of trying to find them a college to go to tell them to actually do their 10 minutes worth of homework so instead of getting a $15K scholarship they can get $20K; just for writing down definitions.

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.

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?
