20 Signs You Should Do College Over Again
The Consummate Dabbler

They say college is the best four years of your life. While that's very true, no one tells you how you may feel after graduation, regardless of whether or not you're employed. For those who have happily accepted a full-time job, I congratulate you for your step into the real professional world.

For the others, it is completely OKAY.

Who says getting a job straight out of college will guarantee success in the long run? Nobody, that's who. Whatever your current situation is, it doesn't mean you can't have major college withdrawals and want to do college all over again.


1. You find yourself thinking about what could've happened if you picked another major

2. You're always scrolling through invite pictures and those with your sorority

3. You look at your past exams and tests and everything makes SO MUCH sense to you now than it did before

4. (continued) such that you want to retake all your exams and to know you'll nail them all

5. You can't bear with yourself deleting all the college assignments from your laptop

6. You cry at the thought of your favorite professor

7. You smile when you sift through piles and piles of your club/sorority/fraternity clothes

8. You know you will forever miss summer and winter breaks

9. You look forward being on campus with your best buds and reminiscing all the great times you had

10. You cry at the thought of having to pay your own food now moving forward

11. You miss, A LOT, free campus food

12. And that free *insert campus name* swag

13. You miss living with your roommates and best friends

14. You probably won't ever be able to have a kickback at your place just like you did in college

15. Think about the "better" internships you would've gotten

16. And how much more hard work you would put into your studies

17. You would relive graduation day over and over again

18. You don't want to move out and start becoming an adult

19. You miss the failures without consequences you can continue to make over and over again in college

20. You miss the idea of not having any major responsibilities except for studying and getting internships

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?
