14 Things Every College Student Is Obsessed With

Everyone knows the college student stereotype: lazy, tired, broke and hungry. The stereotype is totally true and we've developed obsessions to accommodate our college lifestyle. A lot of stuff can apply to high school students, too, but you really start to see your obsessions and addictions when you're on your own having one of your weekly mental breakdowns. But if you weren't obsessed with these before college, you either are now or you will be.

1. Caffeine

How else am I supposed to make it through my 9 a.m. class? Or my 3 p.m.? Or homework?

2. Sleep

Enough said.

3. Netflix


What else am I supposed to do from 4 p.m to 2 a.m?

4. All-You-Can-Eat Buffets


One swipe into the dining hall and I get all of the food I want. I think I'm going to study in the caf today...

5. Food


9 a.m -- hungry. 12 p.m -- hungry. 12:41 p.m. -- hungry. I'm always hungry.

6. Free Stuff

The whole broke-college-student thing is legit. Free T-shirt? Yes please. Free food? Sign me up!

7. Sweatpants


Just be glad I made it to this class.

8. Snapchat

Yes, I will spend three hours watching Snapchat stories today. And yes, I'm going to say how boring this class is on my story.

9. Snow Days


I once played snow roulette for three days. And I won.

10. Naps


What comes 15 minutes before I need to leave for my next class? Nap time.

11. Their Study Spot


I better not catch someone else in my hidden corner in the lounge.

12. Procrastination

Maybe I shouldn't have spent six hours on Netflix...

13. Weekends


TGIF Where the parties at?! J.K. I'm going sleep until 3 in the afternoon.

14. Breaks


Winter break plan: Sleep for five days straight, eat all of the food in the house, don't unpack, have a panic attack the day before I go back.


Don't even act like you aren't obsessed with these. You aren't fooling anyone.

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.
