40 Thoughts We Have While Getting Ready For A Big Day

It's a big day, for whatever reason, and it's time to get up and get ready. Sometimes we wake up ready to take on the world, but most of the time, our motivation is lacking. Either way, we've all been through the harrowing stages of waking up and getting ready in the morning, especially when we have a big day ahead of us!

Here are the 40 thoughts we have while getting ready for a big day.

1. I know the alarm is coming, but I refuse to open my eyes until it does.

2. Seriously, why am I even thinking about the alarm going off right now? I should still be sleeping.

3. I know it's coming. I can't do this.

4. THERE IT IS.

5. Why did I think I needed two hours to get ready? It's only a wedding.

6. I need to avoid all mirrors before I get into the shower. Not trying to see the damage of a poor night's sleep right now.

7. Of course I'm just now realizing that I left my razor at my parents' house this weekend.

8. I cannot wear that dress with hairy legs!

9. Is pantyhose still a thing?

10. Oh god, my armpits too...

11. Pantsuits are cool now, right?

12. Nah, there's no way I can pull that off.

13. I'm just never going to get out of the shower and say that I'm deathly ill.

14. Actually, that's not an option. The groom's brother is single and I've been waiting for this day my whole life.

15. Alright, that's slightly dramatic, but he's perfect and I need to be there.

16. Also for my friend getting married, I guess.

17. SNAP OUT OF IT, GIRL!

18. Holy crap, I just spent 32 minutes in the shower.

19. Now I have to rush. This is why we can't have nice things.

20. Okay, time to look in the mirror and see what we're working with.

21. I'm a monster.

22. This is worse than I thought. CODE RED.

23. Luckily, I'm #blessed with two new pimples this morning.

24. There goes another tube of cover up.

25. I swear, one day my skin will be flawless and I will be a goddess.

26. It will be a Taylor Swift style transformation!

27. Don't you love when the makeup all over your hands gets on everything you touch?

28. Including the dress I'm supposed to wear...

29. Oh my god, I can't wear this now.

30. Back to scavenging in my roommate's closet!

31. Where the hell is that purple lace romper she wore to semi-formal?

32. Ugh, I am so bloated and it's not going to fit.

33. How is it not here, she wore it a week ago!

34. Ah, I knew I would find you, sneaky!

35. Ew, it smells like sweat and beer.

36. A little perfume never hurt anyone, am I right?

37. Wait, YES. This is perfect. Outfit on FLEEK, for sure.

38. I better get a good Instagram later.

39. I have to leave in 15 minutes?! How did time go by that fast?

40. OH MY GOD, I forgot about my hair...

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.
