10 Things you can only do with your high school boyfriend

I recently wrote an article about things you can only do with your high school friends, and decided this should be a two-part article. I've been dating my current boyfriend since junior year in high school. Even though we are past those times, we always bond over our high school days. Here are just a few...

1. Remember all the times your parents had to drive you to and from dates and you would sneak holding hands in the back seat. Then feel forever grateful that that's no longer a thing.

2. Feel cool now that you can see rated R movies and legally drink together.

3. Remember getting glammed up for prom and your first dance together (as you cuddle in sweats and watch Netflix).

4. Gossip about all the couples who broke up after high school.

5. Consider yourself part of their family since you've been to all the family holidays and are in most of the family pictures.

6. Remember each other's peak high school athletic days as you currently struggle to run a mile together.

7. Hang out with each other's high school friends.

8. Remember each other's awkward-looking-teenager stage and realized you've changed for the better.

9. Talk about old inside jokes and stories, only to realize your college friends have no clue what you are talking about.

10. When people ask "How did you meet?" you always have a good story to tell. (We got set up at a high school football game).

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.
