Don't touch me.

10 Things You Know To Be True If You Hate Physical Contact

I do not like physical contact — never have, never will. If you're anything like me, the thought of long hugs or simply lightly brushing arms with a stranger makes you cringe.

1. You never give hugs for more than three seconds. Anything longer than that give you the heebie jeebies.

2. When you brush legs with someone sitting next to you, even if it is someone you know, you get super uncomfortable and try to move your body as far as you can away from that person as possible.

3. When someone puts their hand on your back when they are passing you or are trying to direct you somewhere, you internally freak out.

4. When you get married or live with a significant other, you will have to get a king sized bed simply because you hate having someone touch you or breathe on you while you sleep.

5. You like cuddling for like 15 minutes and after that it's time to move on.

6. You get anxiety in crowed public transportation.

7. Family gatherings are the worst because that means obnoxious amounts of hugging.

8. When someone is so close to you that you hear them breathing, that's too close.

9. The only person you allow to touch you for more than three seconds is your significant other.

10. When someone whispers directly into your ear and you feel their warm, moist breath entering your ear cavity, you wonder how you made it this far on Earth.

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.
