1. Invincibility

It’s your first week of classes and you feel like you’re ‘Top Dog’ on campus. It took you a lot of sleepless nights and maybe some tears, but you’ve made it to the final year.

2. Confidence


It’s your last trip around the block and you feel that you’ve finally got this whole college thing down. There will be no slacking. You make a secret promise to yourself that there will be no slacking. Your time-management skills are prime.

3. Euphoric

The excitement of being a senior in college is quite different than when you were a senior in high school. Your college years are slowly coming to an end. A soon-to-be college graduate is an awesome milestone, though. Right?

4. Overwhelmed


Yes! You’re almost done with school, forever. It’s an amazing feeling, but definitely a scary thought. As much as you may complain about the workload, its time to find your career. What you’ve been working toward your whole life.

5. Anxious

Where are you going to be come May? Unless you have some set plan and were lucky enough to have a job lined up straight out of school… you really have no idea where you might end up.


Senior year will be a rollercoaster ride you’ve yet to experience, but we’re all in this together. Let’s pat ourselves on the back, Class of 2017!

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?
