The Playlist Of A College Student's Life
Actuarial Journey

A college student is always busy learning and experiencing new things. What if there was a playlist of songs for the things college students go through? Here is a compilation of songs for just a few life experiences they have.

1. This Magic Moment - The Drifters

When you think you've found the one.


2. Wonderful World - Sam Cooke

"Don't know much about history, don't know much biology"... When you get to college, you realize that you don't know much of anything, really.


3. Help - The Beatles

Say goodbye to figuring things out on your own.


4. Fix You - Coldplay

"When you try your best and you don't succeed...

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace."

Yes, you may bomb a few tests. Don't worry, your grade can still be fixed.

Maybe.


5. Dynamite - Taio Cruz

After many late nights of studying, sometimes you just have to throw your hands up in the air and let go.


6. Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars

After losing confidence in your test taking skills, you've proved your teachers, friends, and yourself wrong that you can ace a test. "Don't believe me? Just watch."


7. I'm Reading a Book - Julian Smith

You've now gotten into the college rhythm of studying. Nothing can stop you until someone interrupts you to chat. "If you ever interrupt me, you can bet you're gonna see the nasty me."


8. Run Boy Run - Woodkid

You've just finished printing out the research paper that's due today. Class is in 2 minutes. Run!


9. Harder Better Faster - Daft Punk

Having had the Freshman fifteen set in, you want to get in shape. Why not go running? A nap did you say? Well, If you say so.


10. No Time for Cameras - Matt and Kim

In college you get to meet some pretty awesome people. Sometimes memories captured by the eyes are better than remembering from a camera.


11. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

You've toughed it out the whole year, but you're getting tired. Keep going, you're almost there!

12. I Believe I Can Fly - R. Kelly

You've made it to graduation! Congrats! You're now flying high.

Oh, and you can get a pilot's license in college, too. And you can get into an airplane. And the airplane can help you fly. Not just metaphorically, but in reality... you get the idea.


13. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

"He's just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity".

Suddenly, all your joy from graduation is cheapened when you look at your accumulated student loan bills.

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.

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.
