20 Moments of Pure Panic for College Students
Giphy

Everyone starts college thinking it will be the time of their life... taking classes you are actually interested in, hanging out with your friends all the time, picking your own schedule, living away from home, and having a lot more freedom. But let's be honest, there's a lot more to college than we initially thought, like tons of school work, sleep deprivation, not knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life, being constantly broke, and stress on stress on stress. Sometimes, it's even just the little things that will send us into full blown hysteria.

Here are 20 moments of pure panic all college students know.

1. Realizing you forgot about an assignment or a test.

2. Being locked out of your room after a shower wearing only a towel.

3. Trying to find your friends in the dining hall.

4. Having less than $10 in your account.

5. Trying to survive two broke weeks until pay day.

6. Forgetting to set your alarm.

7. Realizing you’re in the wrong class.

8. Walking into the wrong dorm room/suite.

9. Being asked “What do you want to do for the rest of your life?”

10. Being asked “Are you dating anyone?”

11. When your laptop dies as soon as your 2 ½ hour class begins/before saving an assignment.

12. Forgetting to set a timer for your laundry and remembering about it hours later.

13. Anytime anyone mentions “college loans.”

14. Thinking about how much you pay for tuition.

15. Having a class with that person you’ve been trying to avoid.

16. When your laptop completely sh*ts the bed.

17. Skipping one class one time and missing EVERYTHING.

18. Going out on Thursday even though you have an 8:30 a.m. on Friday.

19. When you thought it was Friday but it’s only Tuesday.

20. Saying you’ll start your assignment after one more episode of *something* on Netflix until it's 4 a.m. and you watched a whole season.

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.
