College As Told By Drake

College As Told By Drake
Pitchfork

What a time to be alive! Winter break is here so you made it out alive. Let's take a look back at this past semester and figure out what college is all about. I will share this experience through the powerful words of the famous poet, Drake.

Move In Day:

A wise Drake was once quoted saying,


"Started from the bottom now we're here,
Started from the bottom now the whole team here"
"Living at my mama's house we'd argue every month."


Sounds like he just needed to get away and have his own place, like a college dorm.


When a teacher assigns homework on Syllabus Day:


"Remember, mother******* never loved us"


When the cafeteria is having an off day:

"When a good thing goes bad, it's not the end of the world, just the end of a world, that you had with one..." lunch?


Showing up to your first college party:

"My excuse is that I'm young, and I'm only getting older so somebody shoulda told ya I'm on one."


Your first crush of the year:

"Sweatpants hair tied, chillin with no make up on, that's when you're the prettiest I hope you don't take it wrong."


When your friend does the whole study guide:


"Cause you da you da best, you da you da best."


Sucking up to your professor:

"I better find your love, I better find your heart."

When the professor gives you the extra point:

"Who would of know the path we chose would end up this scenic?"

Looking at your bank account halfway through the year:

"We go to dinner, you don't even look at me to pay."

Trying to get some cardio in at the gym:

"Last name Ever, first name Greatest."

When your mom sends you money for "groceries":

"They ain't make me this way, they found me like this."

When the test isn't at all like the study guide:

They might catch me slippin, and put in something different.

But you somehow pass the test:

"No help, that's all me, that's all me for real."

Praying to get through finals week:

"I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful."

Finally making it to Christmas Break with passing grades:


"Just Hold On We're Going Home!"

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.
