10 Things That Are Only Normal To College Students

Taking a nap at 6 p.m.? Eating inedible food? Sounds like college.

10 Things That Are Only Normal To College Students

College changes all of us. These changes can come in many different forms; most humorously, it can change our habits. Things that we once thought were strange before soon become the norm. To those not in college, these hobbies may sound like we need a psychological evaluation.

1. Showering at any time of the day.

Stressed? Shower. Worked out? Shower. Finished homework at 4 a.m.? Shower. Bored in the middle of the afternoon? Shower.

2. Ordering pizza at 2 a.m.

For some reason, nothing sounds better than greasy pizza at 2 a.m.

3. Falling asleep anywhere.

Falling asleep on my friend's bed when she wasn't there and waking up to her and her mom isn't weird, is it?

4. Leaving items unattended in public.

So, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, talk to 12 people, head to dinner and then go back to get my laptop from the table I was working at.

5. Wearing clothes until you absolutely need to wash them.

If it doesn't smell or have any stains, is there any good reason I can't wear this shirt for a week straight?

6. Being afraid to sleep in a room alone even if you did at home.

I spent my whole life having my own room, but as soon as my roommate wasn't there it's as if every creek sounds scary.

7. Taking naps before doing anything.

Going out at 7 p.m.? Better make time for that 6 p.m. nap.

8. Sleeping through more events than you'd like to admit.

You're lying if you haven't unintentionally or intentionally slept through a class.

9. Not knowing what a food is, but still eating it.

Is this lasagna or shepherd's pie? Is it even edible? Oh well, it's the only thing the dining hall is serving.

10. Sleeping in until 2 p.m.

When getting up before noon becomes a problem, you may have a problem.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
