8 Reasons why College Bars Are The Absolute Worst.

As a woman in her mid-twenties (ughh), I've been to my fair share of college bars. All of them are pretty much the same: drunk college girls crying in bathrooms and singing to Justin Bieber songs, drunk college guys trying to hit on every girl they see, and the DJ yelling, "let me see your hands up," among other ridiculous events that transpire throughout a night out. Here are 8 reasons why college bars are the absolute worst:


1. It's so crowed, it's impossible to walk anywhere.

I just got here, and I can't even get to the bar.


2. God help you if you get separated from your friends.

30 minutes later, and someone is still lost.


3. The guys that hit on you are misogynistic and barely 21.


GO AWAY!


4. Someone there is always celebrating a birthday.

Happy birthday!


5. The later the night gets, the more sloppy everyone gets.

Hannah, we need to go. You just tried to make out with the bouncer.


6. You end up spending a large chunk of your paycheck on watered down vodka-sprites.

I spent HOW MUCH in one night?!


7. You recognize the under-aged people almost immediately.

How much is the cover? How much are the drinks? Wait, they don't only play Calvin Harris and Drake songs here? What should I wear? How come I don't know everyone here like at my sorority formal last weekend?


8. Once you've gone to an adult bar, going back is like returning to your old high school

Let's drink marinis and talk about how much we hate our jobs.

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.
