30 Things Every College Student Thinks Over The Summer
SMedia.com

Ah, summer break. The three months that every high schooler loves and every college student hates. You see, in high school, we used to be able to work a bit and hang out with friends the majority of the time. We also never had school work to get done. In college though, that's a different story. We have work to pay for school, summer classes, all of our friends are everywhere over the country and we live back at home instead of in our apartment/houses/cramped dorm rooms. If you're miss school just a tad, here are some things that you think almost every day just like I do.

1. Oh my gosh, I don't have to pay for laundry anymore!

2. I can stretch in bed without having to worry about falling off the twin size bed.

3. What do you mean I can't spend flex at every restaurant around my house? I could do that at school!

4. No more communal bathrooms. Sweet!

5. No more people to clean the bathroom… Not so sweet…

6. I miss my friends.

7. Where are all my clothes that I brought back?

8. Mom? Do you know where my favorite shirt is from school? Which bin is it in?

9. I bet you $50 I could live out of these seven bins for the next 90 days!!

10. Remember when my best friend was only 30 seconds away? Those were the good old days.

11. OMG!! Real food!

12. I missed you, dog.

13. What do you mean I can’t stay out until two in the morning?

14. Home internet is way better than the school's Wi-Fi.

15. Why did I think summer was going to be fun? All I’m doing is taking school without my friends.

16. This town is so boring.

17. Why is there nothing to do in this godforsaken town??

18. I’m. So. Poor.

19. I miss my roommate(s).

20. Why are there so many rules?

21. Why do I have to drive everywhere?

22. Why is everything so far apart?

23. Who let me bring so much shit to school? Why did I need all of that??

24. I don't have to wear shower shoes anymore!!

25. Holy crap, there's actually real food in this fridge!

26. I wonder what my roommate is doing.

27. I should track her just to make sure she's safe.

28. What am I supposed to do with the $500 pile of textbooks I have?

29. I miss walking around the quad and seeing all of my friends.

30. When can I go back to school?

Even though the school portion of college sucks 95% of the time, it was nice being able to walk out your door and see five of your best friends. College summer just isn't the same as high school summer.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
