5 Things We've All Said To Our College Friends

College has a way of bringing out the real you... and of course living with your classmates 24/7, they get to witness EVERYTHING. Here are a few things I know we have all said to our college friends one time or another!

1. I NEED COFFEE!

College means 8 am classes and lots of late nights thanks to all of the procrastinating you did during the day. Thus, caffeine is recommended -- no, caffeine is required -- for functionality!

2. I'm going to go take a nap...


Like coffee, naps are essential in every college kid's daily routine. Without naps, we would all be walking around like complete zombies (more than usual). We've all had those days when you just know you need a 20-minute nap before class... and then you sleep for the next 4 hours straight. That my friends is a good nap!

3. Ok, one episode and then I'll study.

Oh honey who are you kidding? No one only watches just one...

4. Want to get some food?

We all say that we are going to eat every meal in the dining hall, and eat as healthy as possible. Inevitably though, you arrive there and everything looks and tastes absolutely repulsive. Thus, you and your friends will leave within 5 minutes and pile into your car to head out on a McDonald's run. Goodbye healthy living, and hello french fries! :)

5. I love you guys <3

Yes college can be stressful and you will be sleep deprived and caffeinated most of the time, you will also meet lifelong friends. They study, eat junk food, nap alongside you, and support you in whatever you do. So go on that late night McDonald's run and cherish the friends that God has placed in your life!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
