13 Thoughts Every College Student Has At The End Of Summer

Aug 15, 2016

Silvia Mordini

As the end of summer nears, college students everywhere are getting ready to go back to school. They are starting to feel excited and bittersweet all at the same time! Here are 13 things that every college student thinks towards the end of the summer!

1. Where in the world did the summer go?

It feels like you just got home for the semester yesterday!

2. Yes! I get to see all of my friends in like a month!

You've spent all summer waiting and waiting to see those people you call family away from home!

3. Ugh, I have to start classes in like a month!

Is it possible to just see my friends and not have classes? And why in the world did I take so many credits! How am I going to do this? #sleepisfortheweak

4. I am NOT ready to eat cafeteria food again.

I'm going to be sick for a week until my body adjusts. Can I just live off Ramen noodles this year?

5. Why in the world are textbooks so much money?

Who even writes these things anyway? And why do their words cost so much money? I want that job... Those little high school students better appreciate those free textbooks! They better love them and cuddle them!

6. I used to buy school clothes -- now I buy these overpriced books and I can't afford new clothes.

I guess jeans are still my "dressy" clothes... I wonder what sales Walmart is having right now?

7. Do I actually need the book for this class?

Am I actually going to read this? Probably not, but what if there's an open-book test? I'll add this to my Amazon cart just in case.

8. I should start thinking about packing.

I'll start early this year so I'm not so stressed out the night before I leave!

9. Nah, I am going to binge-watch TV/ Netflix instead. I have a whole month to pack!

Ohh! They just put the newest season of "How to Get Away With Murder" on Netflix! I'll start packing when I finish this season.

10. Is it possible to get enough sleep now for late-night papers coming up?

*Googles how many hours a person can sleep a day*

11. Frick! I only have a week to pack! Why didn't I pack sooner!?

Why did I have to watch so much Netflix?? I'm an idiot -- how can I pack my whole life in a week?

12. Why do I have SO. MUCH. STUFF?

Who needs so many things? I am going to cut down! *Looks around* But I need that scarf holder! What will I do with all my scarves?

13. I'm kind of gonna miss home.

Wait, I kind of enjoyed relaxing and hanging out with old friends. And the food... I am going to miss the food the most!

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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. 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.
