1. When relatives ask how you like the independence of college.

2. When you want to keep it classy on a student budget.

3. When it's finally Friday.

4. When your friends convince you to leave the comfort of your bed to go out, only to face the consequences of Saturday morning...

5. ... and when they ask how your night was.

6. When you put off an entire day of homework because Netflix was "calling you."

"I'll just reward myself with one episode." *Three seasons later* "What have I done?"

7. When anyone asks you what your post-college plans are.

8. When all your exams and assignments are due at the same time...

Is there a club that professors join just to coordinate exam dates and practice evil laughs?? There is, isn't there?

9. ... and when one (or more) of those exams does NOT go the way you hoped.

10. When you're forced to go the dining hall alone because your friends have class.


11. When finals week rolls around...

12. ... and you question whether or not dropping out is still a valid option.


13. But when, despite all the lows of college, your hard work pays off.

14. And when you finally realize that college is a just roller coaster, and it's totally worth the ride.

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?

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.
