5 Things I Want My Parents To Know While I'm At School

1. I miss you

I miss you more than words can describe. It feels like I haven't seen you in years when in reality it has only been a few weeks or months. I know that I'm technically an "adult" now but that doesn't mean that I don't need you. I also know that I don't always take the time to tell you how much I appreciate all that you do so that I can pursue my dreams.

2. I'm alive

I know you might wonder sometimes if I'm still breathing because it has been a while since we last talked. Although, these days its questionable if I am alive because of how little sleep I usually get.

3. I'm stressed

It feels like all I do is go to class and study. My to-do list always has something on it. It is impossible to not have something that needs to get done because there is always other stuff that I have to do that isn't school related.

4. I'm broke

It is a mystery where all the money I saved over the summer went which means that I am now accepting donations of all variations. I know you'll say that I spend too much money on stuff I don't need and you're probably right but, I wouldn't be upset if I received a contribution towards my poor college student fund.

5. I miss your cooking

No food can even come close to comparing with yours. I've eaten cereal for dinner on multiple occasions because sometimes it's questionable as to what is actually edible at the dining hall.

Thank you for always being there to support me with everything, I love you!

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.
