  • I'm definitely setting a new record for how many mini cliff bars I can fit in this fanny pack.
  • Thank you to whoever invented fanny packs.
  • I have no clue how I got into this corral but I guess this is where I’ll stay.
  • I'm definitely more nervous for the seeded/sub-seeded runners than they are for themselves.
  • To the people with the full body costumes, I admire you.

  • I mean seriously is pink gorilla guy going to keep that on the whole time??
  • Why do so many people have bags of tortillas?
  • Ah, I see.
  • I’m sorry to anyone I hit in the face with a tortilla.
  • The volunteers created a human chain to corral all of these people. They actually did that.
  • The infamous nervous-pee is coming on.
  • These speakers are quite powerful; sorry again, eardrums.
  • I’m going to check my watch as I pass the start line so I look like an ~serious~ runner.
  • I’ve never been so energized during a run.
  • Full credit for this energy goes to the hype man on the loudspeaker at the start.
  • Where are the mile markers? I need to establish when it's socially acceptable to take a stretch break
  • Hayes Hill, you almost got me. Almost.
  • The Church of Latter Day Sinners. Good one.
  • Thank you to the stranger who, unbeknownst to them, is pacing me.
  • This is basically just a moving frat party with better costumes and healthier decisions being made.

  • How is it already Mile 4?
  • That sobriety tent could be a useful implementation at college parties. Just saying.
  • This run wouldn’t be nearly as fun if not for the enthusiastic spectators.
  • Another happy (belated) birthday to the man wearing the “I turned 60 today” shirt!
  • Everyone here is so comfortable being them own selves.
  • You get used to the naked people after a bit.
  • Also, shoutout to the naked people- I wish I was that carefree and confident in my own skin.
  • Alright, it’s starting to get cold.
  • This fog means we’re almost done right??
  • Here’s to the runners high that kicked in around Mile 5.
  • ...and here’s to pressing the gas a little too early on that runner's high.
  • Regardless, this gradual downhill is very much so appreciated.

  • These elite runners are running their cool down faster than I’m running the race.
  • Your negativity didn’t affect anyone, Repent or Perish guy.
  • I’m sorry to the police officers around him who had to listen to that for the whole race.
  • The beach!! The finish!! The runners high is back!
  • Can these strangers motivate me to finish strong do the same every night when I try to procrastinate on my homework?
  • Oh god, I definitely did not make a cute face for that finish line picture.
  • I’m on such an adrenaline high right now.
  • My medal that, yes, I will wear around for the rest of the day, thank you very much.
  • Make room for these Pete’s coffee cold brews, mini cliff bars.
  • I definitely drank too much coffee.
  • I really love this city and all the people in it.
  • I don’t even know what these vitamin packets are but I’ll have 8.
  • The contrast of all these sunny people and colorful costumes to the foggy day is so stark.
  • Here’s to already wishing Bay to Breakers 2018 would come sooner.

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.

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.
