7 Concerns Every College Student Has Their Junior Year

Entering your junior year of college is a big milestone, you start to think to yourself, "where has the time gone?". Suddenly your life is flashing before your eyes and you feel like it's almost time to become an adult. Freshmen year was the new, exciting year. Sophomore year was not as new, kind of boring, also referred to as the "sophomore slump" and Junior year is so far the semester of worry. I have similar concerns every day and am constantly being asked the same questions, some of them are...

1. What am I doing with the rest of my life

It's okay that you wake up every morning questioning why you haven't transferred home yet, it's normal, you'll get through it.

2. Do I go to grad school, if so, where?

I didn't even graduate yet, how am I supposed to know what I'm doing after that!!

3. Am I going to graduate with enough credits...

Should I take summer or winter classes, how do I go about that.

4. Do I have enough on my resume?

Jobs, clubs, activities, sports, is that going to suffice?

5. Where can I get a job, internship?

There are so many jobs to choose from, where does one begin.

6. Do I even have time for fun, am I allowed to go out?

Sometimes when you've studied for so long, it's time to take a break and go on over to Dark Horse and have yourself a drink. It's good to let loose and have fun before it's to late.

7. I wish it was senior year, but I don't want to graduate!

The struggle between wanting to be done already, but not wanting to enter the big world and become an adult.

If you haven't thought about at least one of these, are you really even a junior?

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.
