8 Stages Of Being In A GroupMe

This group message seemed like a good idea.

If you're in college, then you're probably in at least one GroupMe, or you're lying. GroupMe is a lot more useful than the regular group iMessage for so many reasons. For example, you can leave the conversation and people can't add you back (because let's face it, sometimes you just need a break from everyone in the group), and it doesn't matter if you have an iPhone or an Android. It's like one big happy family (sometimes). Whether it's a group message with your sorority, chemistry class or just a bunch of your friends, here are the eight stages of being in any kind of GroupMe.

1. When you first get added to the group.

"What a great idea! One big group with my friends. What could possibly go wrong?"

2. When the whole group starts roasting someone...

3. But then they turn around and start roasting you.

4. When someone uses incorrect grammar

PSA: You're, your, they're, there and their are not interchangeable! If you're like me, then you probably hate bad grammar and you feel the need to correct it every chance you get.

5. Trying to make plans in general

When you see "where are we eating?" in the group message, you better sit down because deciding will take 38 hours.

6. When you take a nap and wake up to 500 unread messages.

It always seems like people feel the need to talk about every topic under the sun while you're trying to sleep.

7. When you finally decide to leave the group

You love your friends, but this message has just become too much.

8. But then a couple day later, you get a notification that you've been added to a new group message.

And part of you dies a little bit on the inside.

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.
