Being A College Student

"Two of your finals are scheduled for the same time."

Being A College Student

College students know the struggle, but remember we're all in this together! Here are a few ways you know without a doubt you're a college student:

1. You have a bin full of mac and cheese cups.








2. You improvise on making frozen yogurt by using popsicle sticks. But, you don't have popsicle sticks so you use a plastic knife.









3. You have papers due all at the same time for all your classes, plus the regular load of homework.

4. Two of your finals are scheduled for the same time during finals week.







5. You try to avoid taking a class over the break, but end up having to take one or two anyway just to attempt to graduate on time.

6. The first two months of any semester are manageable, but the last month is crunch time and you have no social life anymore.







7. At the end of the semester, you become a hermit surviving on mac and cheese cups.

8. You know that things are terrible when the school offers stress-relief nights with therapy dogs and free massages.








9. Your dorm neighbors always have to be loud on the nights you need to get to sleep early for your next 8 am class.

10. When the dryer in the laundry room never dries your clothes, even after an hour in the machine.

11. Your friends are always having movie night, but you have so much work to do and/or you just don’t like the movie they’re watching and/or you don’t want to socialize anymore.

12. When after everything is done for the semester, you want to take a two week vacation from everything or just sleep until the next semester starts.

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?
