8 Things A College Girl Can't Live Without
Sara Jane Bowers

College brings in so many new elements to a girl's daily life. From not being able to have an iron in your dorm, to having way less time to get ready and so many events scheduled you have to buy the biggest planner that they sell. But college girls can't live without these things–well, at least my friends and I can't. Maybe you can relate.

1. Dry shampoo.

It literally works miracles. Trust me when I say you will need to wash your hair but have only like 10 minutes to get ready in the morning or before you head out. And you would much rather spend that time on getting your face on fleek or shaving those legs real quick. Dry shampoo literally takes like three minutes max and is so, so great. Trust me. Your new best find is at Ulta, or sometimes I find it at TJ MAXX for like $5.

2. Rainboots.

That walk to class in the pouring rain really dampens your day (lol). But some rain boots will really make it not as bad. If you don't believe me, wait until it rains and you'll understand.

3. A good relationship with your local barista.

When you're running late to class but have to have your morning pick me up, it's good to see someone who will know your order and that if you're running, it means you need it in half the time.

4. Mexican food.

Chips and salsa should be its own food group. Seriously. It's kinda cheap and the service is super fast.

5. Fried Chicken Wednesday.

It's the best day of the week, hands down. The day everyone is eating in the dining hall because of it.

6 Portable charger.

For when your phone isn't going to make it throughout the day and you need a little back up juice to help get you through. These are super cheap and you can find them almost anywhere!

7. Go-to shoes.

A pair of shoes that are super comfy and you will probably wear every day. This is more in general but if you don't have a pair of these by now, you should get some!

8. Friends.

Make some friends! That seems like it doesn't need explaining, but these really will be the best days of your life and having friends there by your side is a necessity.

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.
