9 Things That Happen When You're Involved On Campus
Anna Grace Wyneken

Some of us find ourselves inclined to get super involved in our college activities, meaning long days, busy schedules and forming close bonds with some of the best people you'll ever meet.

1. All of student body seems to knows you.

Whether you go to a big school or a small one like mine, the odds are that the more involved you are on campus, the more people know who you are. Sometimes people who you don't even know will greet you randomly by your name, while you panic in your mind trying to figure out how you know them and what their name is.

2. You're a part of many organizations.

When someone finds out that you are a part of a similar club or group as theirs, they instantly try to connect you and get you involved in theirs.


3. You have several groups of friends.

You have your friends who are on your sports team, the ones you go to bible studies with, the ones who are super into planning things for the school and more!

4. You have an enormous amount of school pride.

It's obvious that if you are a big part of your school's extracurricular scene, you love your university, and want to experience as much of it as you can.

5. Your t-shirt collection has doubled in size.

If you're at a college like mine, you find that they like to give out free shirts for most events affiliated with the school and you can hardly get your drawers shut. (You also have tons of shirts to give your parents)


6. You end up getting volunteered for things.

Just in case you didn't have enough going on, you do now.

7. Back-to-back meetings.

Seeing as you're in so many activities, most of your meetings end up being back-to-back on the same night, or at 8 am before class.

8. All of the faculty know you.

You go to introduce yourself to someone, followed by them letting you know they already know your name and all about you. (Hopefully all good things??)

9. Free time is almost non-existent.

... But you wouldn't have it any other way! You love your school and all that comes with it. Even on the busiest of weeks, you wouldn't change it for anything.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
