The Adult Diaper Bag

My friends like me for my purse

Most girls can relate, and maybe even some guys, but we all know that our purse essentially carries everything we need at any given time. And even sometimes we try to downsize and we somehow have the power to fit everything we want in it still. If I were to dump out my purse right now these are some things that would be in it:

My wallet and checkbook:

Okay, that’s what a purse was essentially made for but somehow my wallet has more things in it then it probably was made for. Pointless reward cards that I used once when the cashier asked me to get one and I didn’t feel like hearing their promotion so I just said yes.

Markers and pens:

When I would ever need a red marker in public, I don’t know, but if you need one I have it! & I also found the 15 pens I was missing.

Wine stoppers:

I have no idea why I have wine stoppers in my purse, but I guess at one point I thought they were essential to have with me at all times. But let's be honest who goes to a friends house and doesn’t finish the entire bottle of wine?

A pharmacy:

I took out 6 bottles of pills of my purse. You could call me the pharmacist of OTC medications, and if you ever have a headache or paper cut, I guess I’m your girl.

Hand sanitizer:

You just never know these days when you're going to need a squirt, or the whole bottle.

Open lotion container:

I don’t know how I never realize these things sooner, but I almost always find an open lotion container in my person and the mess that goes with it.

Gum and chapstick:

It seems like I always need these things, but when I need them my purse is never nearby. But it’s nice to know their there.

Nail clippers:

Nail clippers are essential for the nasty hangnail and for when you can’t wait to get home to take all the tags off your new purchases.

Phone charger:

Never leave the house without a phone charger.

$7.83 in change:

I clean out my purse and suddenly I have enough money for a trip to taco bell.

Shampoo and Conditioner:

You paid for it at the hotel, might as well stuff in your purse, forget about it, and never use it.

Snacks:

I don’t ever want to be in a situation where I’m hangry, this is really for the people around me. I have their best interest in mind.

Spare key:

I don’t know why it’s in my purse because personally, I think that if I lock my keys in my car my purse would probably be with it. But I haven’t had the problem yet, and I don’t plan on finding a better place for it.

I’d say that my purse is about medium sized, with a lot of pockets. I would also consider my purse to by Farley empty compared to what I’ve had it. You never want a purse too big or too empty because then people think it’s an open invitation to shove their things in there when you are walking around. My shoulders are probably stronger than an Olympic swimmer's, thanks to the weight my purse can endure. My friends never fail to tell me how much of a 'mom' I am, when I pull out anything they need out of my purse. But really, what they do without me and my adult diaper bag?

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.
