6 College Struggles Only Girls Who Went To A All-Girls School Understand

Being able to attend an all girls school was one of the biggest blessings in my life. But the transition from that to a huge public university was definitely a struggle but life's not easy right?

1. Realizing That Not Everyone Is Religious (or just knows about religion)

Even though I am not a practicing Catholic I went to catholic school my whole life so I know when it's Ash Wednesday. But I definitely knew I was not at my catholic high school when I said to my friends, "OMG guys its Ash Wednesday today" I can tell you I have never gotten more have never gotten more blank stares in my life. It was even better when my friend asked me "what are the ashes made of? Bodies?". Or the one night when I forcibly read the creation story to my roommate because she has never heard it before.

2. Putting Makeup on Everyday

I am a huge believer that everyone is beautiful all the time and makeup is not necessary however I do wear it often in college. Sometimes in college sleep is not your friend and sadly I don't want to look like the hobo I did in high school. The fact that I get up ever morning and put makeup on my face that I usually mess up is the worst. Looking like a hobo was where I truly thrived.

3. Picking out Clothes = Biggest Struggle of My Life

I can not be more serious when I say picking out clothes will be the death of me. I actually sit in front of my dresser and think "what the hell am I going to wear today". Being able to wake up five seconds before I left for school knowing that I will wear exactly the same ratty old uniform I've been wearing for the past four years was the best feeling in the world.

4. Boys Boys Boys


They are the MOST confusing thing on the planet and I feel those two GIFs really put my two main feelings about them together. Yes, is it the best thing to walk into a class and see a beautiful person. But then I'm just so confused by them not all I will say, but most. I would have truly appreciated a class in highschool like "How to Understand Boys 101".

5. Finding New Friends Who Love Food As Much As Me

Nick is me 90% of the time. During my time in high school if there was something we loved as much as school spirit it was our food. It was weird for me when in the I didn't have enough time for breakfast so I brought my box of cereal to my nine am and got a ton of weird stares. Like girls gotta eat what do you think I would do STARVE, your crazy. Thankfully I was able to find girls that love food (especially brunch) as much as me. Bruch people are the best people.

6. Not Having My Sisters

There is not a day that goes by where I don't miss these ladies. I am forever grateful for them and all the support they have had for me and all my sister from the past four years into the future LOVE YOU LADIES. sko dawgs #senyolo.

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.
