11 Things I Ask My Mom For While I'm Home
Us Seek

It's finally that time again when we begin to realize all the small, but important things our families do for us that we miss so dearly. So instead of traveling far and wide for Spring Break, we return to our loving homes to see the brightest of smiles. Here is a list I've compiled of some of the small, but SUPER SUPER important things we ask our moms to do that we couldn't possibly do ourselves, right?

1. "Can you get me a glass of water?"

There's no possible way you could walk 10 feet into the kitchen to get your own glass of water, so here Mom comes to the rescue.

2. "Mom, can you PLEASE call the dentist and make my appointment for me?"

She's been doing such a good job telling them what's wrong already, how could we possibly do it on our own now?

3. "What is my social security number?"

OK, no one ever told me we would have to memorize this ourselves.

4. "Do you have credit? Do I have credit? Can I just use some of your credit? I just need to buy something."

What even is credit and how does it work?

5. "Can you come tuck me into bed, please?"

Let's face it, anything that doesn't come from the microwave is so much closer to a five-star meal than what we've been eating.

7. "Is $4.99 too much to spend on strawberries?"

And if Mom is buying, can we buy them anyways? Or, does meal plan reach back home?

8. "Which medicine should I be taking? Can you get it for me?"

Moms always have the right medicine.

9. "What's for dinner?"

If there is any leftovers, can I take them back with me?

10. "Can you call this prescription in for me?"

They intimidate me, Mom.

11. "Can I stop adulting now?"

I'm too young to do this whole adult thing.

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.
