8 Back-To-School Haikus From The Girl Who Isn't Ready To Go Back

My sleep habits suck, might have to nap on campus, no one will judge me.

Every student chooses a different way to express their "back to school" thoughts. This semester I've decided to add some angsty poetry to my usual routine of complaining about school to my friends.

And now I present to you some mediocre haikus:

1. Brand new school supplies,

Why is this so expensive?

Erasers smell good.

Erasers smell awful, aren't I a great poet?

2. Why is it still hot?

Get it together Georgia,

School equals autumn.


Guess I can't wear leggings until November (sigh). It doesn't help that the classrooms are as freezing as Antarctica.

3. My sleep habits suck,

Might have to nap on campus,

No one will judge me.


Scratch that, will DEFINITELY have to nap on campus. I call dibs on the swinging chair in the shade.

4. Rate My Professor

Is much better than Google,

It saves GPA’s.

And who needs their GPA saved? That's right, all of us who are trying to keep our damn scholarships, that's who.

5. Where is my planner?

I should be more organized,

I can manage, right?

Maybe I'll just put everything in my phone and that'll help. Maybe I'll buy another cute planner from Target. Maybe not.

6. At least it’s easy at first,

Syllabus week should be chill,

Too bad it’s dull.

A moment of silence for the professors who barely even acknowledge a "syllabus day" and dive right in.

7. Maybe I’m dreaming,

It can’t be time for school yet,

Please summer come back.

Summer 2K17, you were great while you lasted.

8. Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope.

That's all I've got, folks.

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.
