15 Songs To Describe Freshman Year

1. "Sugar, We’re Goin' Down" by Fallout Boy

“We’re going down, down in an earlier round...”


When you mess up badly on the first exam and you start to accept your doom.

2. "I’m a Believer" by Smash Mouth

“Now I’m a believer...”

When you find out you can fix what you did wrong or do a lot better on the next exam.

3. "In Da Club" by 50 Cent

“You should love it, way more than you hate it...”

If you hate what you are doing or where you are, change it up! Switch your major or your school.

4. "I’m Yours" by Jason Mraz

“People dance and sing, we’re one big family...”


Your friends/floormates/teammates become some of the best people you will ever meet.

5. "Gives You Hell" by The All-American Rejects

“I hope that it will give you hell...”

This is what we all think about finals week, but in reality, your professors aren’t trying to fail you; they're just trying to see if you learned what you were supposed to.

6. "Good Life" by One Republic

“New names and numbers that I don’t know...”

No one will remember your name the first time you say it. Give it a couple times and it will get easier to remember everyone’s name and room number.

7. "Why Not" by Hillary Duff

“Why not take a crazy chance?”

College is the time to do some reckless stuff within the limits, and if you don’t take chances, you won’t really discover all that you can become.

8. "Pocket Full of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield

“There’s a place that I go that nobody knows...”


Everyone has that one spot that they go to in order to escape for just a little bit of time.

9. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet

“I really wanna make you mine...”

You’ll be at a party and some random drunk guy will tell you this just to get with you; judge it for yourself.

10. "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat

“Every time I see your face I get the tingles in a silly place...”

You’ll see that male or female that makes you feel this way, then stalk them on social media for a little while before having the guts to say, "Hey."

11. "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus

“It’s a party in the USA!”

College is the best time of your life; it’s like having the best party every day.

12. "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts

“Just tell ‘em we’re survivors...”

When you finish finals week and realize that you actually killed your exams.

13. "You Found Me" by The Fray

“You found me, lying on the floor...

Whether you were taking a nap, passed out drunk, or just breaking down because of finals, we have all been found on the floor at some point.

14. "London Bridge" by Fergie

“When I come to the clubs, step aside...”

When you and your crew roll up to the party looking good as shit.

15. "Time of Your Life" by Green Day

“I hope you had the time of your life...”

College is the best four years of your life. I hope you live it to the fullest and make it as memorable as possible. Before you know it, you’ll reach your last year and look back at all of the memories you have created.

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?
