25 Signs You're A College Student

College students are truly a different species all in their own way. Here's just a few things we do:

1) You've mastered watching Netflix and listening to a lecture all at the same time.


2) Getting ready in the dark because you're running late? Check.


3) You've worn the same outfit at least four times in a row

4) You've given up caring how you look when going to class.

5) You pray every night December-February that it'll snow so classes get cancelled.


6) "Hit me, I dare you," you say as you cross the street and a car approaches.


7) Debating if it's really worth it to buy that textbook.


8) You've mastered the art of studying until 2 am the night before an exam and still get an A.


9) Waking up each morning and debating if you can skip class or not.

10) The stab you feel when the professor says the word limit for a aper.


11) Midterm season makes you want to clock out, finals season is even worse.

12) Second semester is the worst semester.


13) Christmas break is never long enough, even if it is a month long.


14) Holding your breath after walking up stairs so no one knows how out of shape you are.


15) You're greatest achievement is finishing all 9 seasons of a show in a single weekend.

16) Passing the gym every day saying tomorrow will be the day you start going.


17) Refreshing your email before a class just to make sure you didn't miss the 'class is cancelled' email.


18) Submitting a paper right as it's due.


19) For commuters: silence on the drive to campus, music blasting as you're leaving.


20) Avoiding 8 ams like the plague.

21) You use Rate My Professor as you walk into the class for the first time.


22) Free is your favorite word.


23) Naps are always on your list of things to do for that day.


24) You know that your study guide will never contain everything that will be on the exam.


25) You spend all your money on food and retail therapy.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
