College is a killer.

College Life, As Told By 'Scream Queens'
www.VanityFair.com

College is a roller coaster. It's somehow simultaneously the best time of your life ... and the hardest. But no matter how many exams you have, no matter how many instant noodle cups you need to consume and no matter how early your morning classes are: college could always be worse. In Fox's newest hit horror/comedy television show, "Scream Queens," the glamorous, catty, and sometimes psychotic members of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority have to try to get through college while they also try not to get brutally killed by a mysterious Red Devil. Let's just all be thankful that we don't have any serial murderers on campus – just some religious zealots who yell at us for wearing tank tops.

Here's college life, as told by the characters of "Scream Queens":


When you walk in late to class and everyone turns to stare at you:


When your professor announces that there's no homework this week:


When you aren't sure exactly how the generation before you learned anything without Wikipedia or Smartphones:


When you realize it's 11 p.m. and you have six different assignments due at midnight:


You get used to college "meals" like Ramen ... or a hearty helping of nothing:


When the professor praises you for raising your hand and answering a question correctly:


When someone sits in your unofficial assigned seat that you've been sitting in all semester:


When you're finally getting a good night's sleep and you suddenly remember that you have an assignment due in the morning:


When you somehow pass a test by the skin of your teeth when you thought you definitely bombed it:


Or the opposite, when you failed an exam you thought you did well on:


When you realize you can't go out with all your friends because you have to be a responsible adult and do your homework instead:


When your professor refuses to curve the grade for a test that every student failed:


When you're forced to work with random partners for a group project:


When one of your randomly assigned group partners always has an excuse as to why they don't have their portion of the work done:


When the group project is over and you never have to talk to your group partners ever again:


When all you can think about the entire time you're in class is how you can't wait to eat when class is over:


When you spend all night working on a project and finally submit it at 11:59 p.m. and promptly die of exhaustion one second later:


When the professor tells a joke but you're still salty about how much homework you have so you refuse to laugh:


When the professor gets off topic and lectures on things that won't be on the exam:


When you make the mistake of venturing into a bathroom on campus:


When the professor is looking around for someone to call on and you're sitting there silently hoping he picks anyone but you:



When the professor was about to let you out early but a million students raise their hands with questions:


When you finally get dismissed from a class full of people you absolutely hate:

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.
