The Chronicles of A Night Owl

If you stay up late at night, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Since moving to school and becoming a "full-fledged adult"; I have been given the opportunity to make my own decisions and manage my own time. Let's just say I'm still getting the hang of it. Anyone who knows me can tell you I am not a morning person so here is the struggle of night owls in college.

You stay up as late as your body will let you.

Before you know it you have spent hours on your phone, watching TV or even finishing up homework/studying.

You set your MULTIPLE alarms knowing tomorrow morning will be the death of you.


When you have an 8 am you calculate how long you could sleep before knowing you're going to bed late. Then you proceed to set several alarms knowing the first won't do the trick.

Then you FINALLY sleep.

The best feeling in the world. Period.

The dreaded first alarm goes off.

At this point you hear a faint noise in the background, but you're in denial so you just try to ignore the satanic noise.

Warning: The Anger Begins

The denial is over and the rage begins. You literally just closed your eyes and now you have to get up.

Nope, not yet..

You can't you just can't it can't be true. It is still WAY to early.

Oh Shoot!!!

And now it's too late.... You have 20 minutes until your class starts. Good Luck! You're going to need it.

Run Forrest Run!

Honestly if you make it to class man oh man kudos to you.

In the nick of time..

You won today (barely).... so until next time try to stay awake!

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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
