8 Truths about being a Junior at SHU

Ah, junior year. We are more than halfway there but we still have a little bit until graduation. It all went by too fast. But being a junior definitely feels different.


1. Finally living with your best friends.

After two years of horrible roommates, I can finally say I love mine. Its so nice not having to travel to another building just to see them.

2. Being called an upperclassman.

Its awesome yet terrifying that we are finally upperclassmen. I mean freshman year was only 2 years ago right?

3. Not having to eat on campus 24/7

4. Not having to worry about waiting for the shuttle.


The year has come that we don’t have to leave our cars parked at Pioneer Gardens or Oakwood. We don’t don’t have to worry about being ready an hour early for class just to catch the shuttle, we can now leave with 15 minutes to spear which is just enough time to stop at outtakes.

5. Missing the shuttles because parking sucks.

From time to time we do in fact miss the shuttles because the parking situation is just awful. No matter what time of day it is, you just can’t get lucky finding a spot.

6. Waiting to be 21 so you can finally go to Reds.

It is the year we have been waiting for since we step foot on Sacred Hearts campus 2 years ago. After seeing several snap chats and Instagram posts from the senior class last year it has made us that more excited to finally go. The countdown is on!

7. Not wanting to be a senior next year.


As much as we hate saying it, most of us are graduating next year. Whether we like it or not its gonna happen. We are dreading the day because after it we won’t be spending everyday with our college BFFs.

8. Cramming in all your classes so you can graduate on time.

Graduation maybe more than a year away but we have many classes to worry about before it gets here. Junior year is probably the most stressful yet considering we now have three semesters to squeeze in the rest of our required or core classes.

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.
