15 Thoughts On Going Back To School

Here we are again, lying in bed restless as we jump from one emotion to another, tossing and turning over the fact that school is right around the corner. We’re excited, but nervous. Happy to return, but sad to wave goodbye to summer. There is nothing in the world that gives us anxiety the way the last few weeks of summer do. Here are 15 thoughts on going back to school.

1. Yes! School, friends, fun, beer.

2. Wait, I’m really going to miss my mom.

3. No, I’m really going to miss my dog.

Do you think I can sneak my dog into my apartment? Yeah, I’m totally sneaking my dog to school with me.

4. I better start eating like a King while I’m still home.

I’m not ready to eat like a peasant again.

5. Why are professors emailing me already?

I have 10 more days of summer vacation, leave me alone.

6. Wow, packing is the worst thing ever.

7. Will I need these shoes?

Probably not, but what if I do need them. Yeah, I’m packing them for just in case.

8. Stop with emails. I have 10 days left.

9. Mom, can we go to Target before I leave?

I need to stock up on the entire store.

10. Whoa, hold on, where did summer vacation go?

11. I have 10 days to become a morning person again.

I’m doomed.

12. Hey, football and tailgating are right around the corner.

I’m a happy camper.

13. My bank account is not ready to drop $500 on books.

I’m not ready for this.

14. I’m probably not even going to need this book.

Will I need this book? Ugh, let’s just get the book just in case.

15. Screw it, I’m winging yet another year of school.

Wish me luck.

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.
