College Student Daydreams - Part I

It'll probably be a series.

College Student Daydreams - Part I

Every college student (heck, even high school students), are guilty of this.

You're sitting in class, bored out of your mind, and you slowly slip into a daydream. Everything looks the same, but crazy things happen that no one seems to realize but you.

The other day, in my Ecology class, I imagined a little something like this:

10:30 a.m. - Ecology.
An hour and fifteen minutes until it's over and I'm completely bored. The teacher hasn't even started his lecture.
I look out the window and have completely zoned out any possible noise that could interrupt my thoughts.

Then, something hits the window. Loud, and hard. It's a man who looks sickly. Poor guy.
He won't go away, and no one seems to notice. But suddenly, he turns and leaves after hitting the window with his hands, and at one point his face. It looked painful but he was quite the champ.

After he walked away, a high-pitched scream rang out, but I was the only one to hear it. I got up and looked out the window-

I should probably remind you that I didn't actually get up, I just thought I did, okay? Good. ANYWAYS.

-there was a women, or what was left of her. Don't know what happened, but I wasn't about to stick around to figure it out.

I left the classroom and walked around the school cautiously. The man was no where to be found outside, but the door was propped open. Not good.

The hallways were absolutely trashed, and no one was around. Until then it seemed normal. Well, except for the mess.

At the end of the hall, the man from earlier rounded the corner and stared at me. His expression was not friendly. He was covered in red. Behind him was a small army of students and faculty.

I froze, and used only my eyes to look around in an attempt to avoid make a move.

They didn't need much of a movement from me before they started to approaching. What was wrong with them? They're all disgusting. Are they okay? I'm no doctor, but they sure needed one.

The teacher called on me to answer a question (that I got right even without paying attention), and that was the end.

I literally dreamed up an apocalypse situation because it was better than learning about water bottles.

I'm not saying you should daydream your classes away because that won't help you academically. What I am saying, however, is that sometimes your mind needs a break, and that's a good way so take one.

If you have a daydream that you would like me to share in an article, contact me - I would love to hear it!

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.
