5 Phases Of Walking To Class In The Heat

Yes, summer weather is great, until you have to walk to class in it. Honestly, the whole entire process is miserable and I don’t know if it’s just me, but I count the minutes until I know it’s going be over.

1. Stepping out of the car.

The heat hits you in the face like your being smothered by a blanket and being buried alive all at once. It is an awful feeling and you start sweating immediately before you even start walking.


2. The walk begins.

Here we go. You start up the long dreaded hill. Beads of sweat start to form on your lower back and eyebrows. It hasn’t even been a minute and half of your makeup is already off.

3. Reaching the top.

You feel by now that you’ve ran a marathon for how disgusting you really feel. Although you see your intended building in sight, it stills seems truly unbearable. The worst part is that there is no wind at all to cool you off, not even a slight breeze. It didn’t seem possible to feel even grosser than you already did, but you continue to tell yourself you still look good.


4. Almost there...

You pick up the speed just because you want to get to the air conditioning as fast as possible, but this in turn just makes you hotter than you already are. You tell yourself it's almost the end of the slow, painful death.

5. Finally at your class.

At last you’ve reached the building and the air hits you as you swing open the door. If only you could cool off instantly. Sitting down immediately just makes it worse because as soon as your thighs hit the chair the are instantly glued to them from all the sweat.

This is a daily process until the winter hits and then it will suck even more to walk in the horrendous snow freezing onto your face. Either way, remember you always look fabulous (even if you really don’t).

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.
