Messages That Prove College Kids Are Just Like You

College: A magical land of opportunity, growth, and some of the most unique experiences that you can’t (and shouldn’t) get anywhere else. Don't let college students fool you; they may seem like a rare breed of overconfident kids who think they're untouchable, but don't be deceived. Believe it or not, I'm here to tell you that college students are just like you. Whether you have yet to enter this phase of your life or chose a different path after high school, don't worry, your life is surprisingly similar that of today's collegiate beings.

How can I prove this you ask? That’s easy, I have solid and verifiable proof! Over the past couple of weeks, I have reached out to my peers and requested that they send screenshots of the craziest, funniest, and wildest text conversations they've had to date.. Now some of these are a little raunchy so if you’re looking for a post-church read I will warn you to hit the little “X” in the corner of your screen, but if not I give you, college.

We'll start off slow.

College students have to eat just like everyone else.

Sometimes, they are insecure about their bodies.

Loneliness is no stranger to the collegiate individual.

They even make mistakes.


Sometimes really big mistakes..

Too often the only way to learn is by trial and error, but some people prefer to gain knowledge by way of asking a simple question!

And they say hands-on learning can be very effective for a lot of people.

College is like life, full of questions…

But sometimes they can be a little confusing.

Though we are led to believe chivalry is dead…

And even though the bar closes at 2…

Persistence is an admirable quality in and out of a University.


While college is a truly happy place for these bright individuals, home is where the heart is, and even in college, people depend on the folks back home to make it through.

To offer a new and honest perspective…

To give us those important tips we can't get anywhere else,

And most of all, to provide that one-of-a-kind entertainment.

College students really do enjoy being home more than you think.

Ultimately, there are texts that stand out to us, and conversations that don't. There are messages that we'll remember, and encounters that we won't. Here is one of the most unrelatable texts I have received to date.

At the end of the day, we all just want the reassurance that we are not alone in this world. We want to feel like we're a part of something. Having the knowledge that there are people just like us out there is a great feeling. College students are far from normal, but really, what is normal? While I hope that you, my lovely reader, never or rarely receive messages like these, but have found some sick type of enjoyment knowing that other people have. This was a fun one.

~Peace, Love, and a lunar eclipse~

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
