The stress, the tears, the struggle.

10 Times 'Modern Family' Described College Life
ABC Go

1. When you realize how bad all of the food is for you... even the salads.

Those chicken fingers and fries are all fun and games until you gain 10 pounds in one week.

2. Encountering those kids who come to college and become political, social, and environmental advocates.

And they don't shut up about it. You throw your plastic water bottle in the garbage instead of the recycling and all hell breaks loose.

3. When it's Friday night but you would rather stay in your room watching High School Musical instead of going out.

Before you come to college you can't wait to go out all the time, but then you get here and wish you were back to being a little kid.

4. The mandatory philosophy class you have to take.

You don't understand how people actually think of that stuff, and probably never will.

5. When you get rejected and try to make yourself feel better about it.

Because you're beautiful and there has to be an underlying reason why he doesn't like you.

6. When you say you're not going to drink, and then you end up like this:

"I'm not going out tonight." "Okay I'll go out tonight, but I'm not drinking." "Alright I'll just have one drink." ... *Has 6 drinks*

7. The struggle of college calculus.

Once again, something else you don't understand and probably never will.

8. Every morning when your alarm goes off.

*Sobs uncontrollably*

9. The kid you gave your number to and wish you never did.

He tries so hard but just does not get the message... you're not mean, just not interested.

10. And, of course, if you listened to what they told you at the school's wellness center.

I just have a runny nose, stop questioning me about my sex life. Thanks.

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?
