As a third year college student, it's hard to believe you're passing the halfway point of the most life changing part of your life thus far. There's many things that are constantly running through your mind as you're getting closer and closer to the real working adult world. You and your friends probably like to keep reality at a distance at this point and keep things light hearted when talking about the future... It's just easier to stay in denial sometimes.

1. “Oh my gosh how am I old enough to be taking 300 and 400 level classes? This must be a joke.”


2. “Pet Peeve #18395: ‘What are you going to do once you’re out of school?’”…”What do you mean? There’s life after college?”


3. “I really want a job that will make me financially stable... I don't think I can take being broke for much longer”


4. “Graduation? Yeah no, that’s way too far ahead to think about.”


5. “Okay that picture from freshman year explains how much I’ve changed in two years.”


6. “No, I don’t want to finish school. That means I have to start paying back my loans.”


7. “Wait… is it too late to change my major?”


8. “Mom, how do I adult?”


9. “Hold on… why is everyone getting engaged?!”


10. “Yes, okay I finally am excited about some of my classes.”


11. “Does internship really mean fetching coffee?”


12. “What is this thing called a resume and why does it define me?”


13. “Wait, how am I supposed to adult when I don’t even have enough money for my groceries next week?”


14. “What do you mean I’m halfway through? Can’t I stay here forever?”


15. “I’m so excited to never do homework or study ever again.”

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.

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 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?
