15 Thoughts During Summer

Summer is the best season of the year. The weather is amazing, no school and no responsibilities. You can sleep until noon, not feel bad about not doing homework, and not have to worry about grades. Plus you are probably heading to the beach, the pool, and numerous concerts. However you probably all of a sudden have rules again, have a summer job (or lack there of), and thoughts of wanting to head back to college. You are excited to see your dog, your family, and maybe a few high school friends who are all home for the summer. However, after about a month and after family vacay you are ready to pack back up and move back out on your own.

1. Man, everyone really did miss me.

I know, I know what is there not to miss? I secretly missed them too (but still missed my dog more).

2. Is it time for the beach yet?

What do you mean you have to wait to get time off of work? It is summer?


3. Why did I ever choose to go to college? Well, the class part..

I could just become a stripper or something right? What was that doctor's son's name that my dad kept trying to introduce me to?

4. Yes, Netflix, I am still watching.

5. I still need to unpack.


Eh, why bother? I'll just have to repack anyways.

6. I AM FREE.

lol just kidding my parents are making me work.


7. I really do miss my school friends.

Or maybe just the variety of things to do on the weekends.

8. Why do my parents think they can give me a curfew in rules?

I am somehow still alive and not in jail without them during the school year. I know shocking, right Mom?

9. I wonder if my dog will fit in my suitcase and if my RA won't notice?

Even if they did notice he is too cute to kick out. I could just keep him in my bathroom or something.


10. Man, I missed mom's cooking.

Oh wait when did I gain the freshman 15 again? No, Mom, I do not want ANOTHER piece of pie, thanks though.

11. What am I going to do when I actually have a job that is all year round?


That just won't work for me.


12. Ugh, I hope I don't see any people from high school.

Maybe if I just walk away slowly... or act like I'm busy.

13. Whoops... slept until noon again.

No responsibilities, and no alarm clocks.

14. Man I missed my regular person sized bed.

Who thought twin extra longs were a good idea for college students?


15. Is it time to go back to school yet?

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.
