While I'm still fairly new to the whole having-my-nose-pierced thing, these incidences have seemed quite inevitable in my short time having the piercing, and have been confirmed by many of my pierced friends, as well. When I got my nose pierced, I of course expected some pain. The following list includes some things I wasn't expecting when I got the piercing, as well as advice and general emotions towards the hole in my face.

1. The initial thought of having a needle go through a wall of cartilage is absolutely terrifying.


2. But you get the piercing anyway.


3. The first time getting it pierced is much less painful than the times it falls out.


4. And much less painful than getting it repierced/replaced from when it falls out.


5. PAT YOUR FACE DRY!


6. The first few days/week of having the piercing you spent pretty much cross-eyed.


7. You got a lot of crap from people at first.


8. People have told you “Usually I think it’s trashy when a girl has her nose pierced.”


9. And sometimes they make that rude remark a little more acceptable by adding “but it looks cute on you”


10. But regardless of what anyone says, you’re happy you got the piercing for your own reason.


11. Girl, you look good

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.
