A Day In The Life Of A UK Student

8:00 a.m.

You hear your alarm, hit snooze, and then goes back to sleep.

8:53 a.m.

Jumps out of bed, realizes that you probably won't make it to your 9:00 a.m. and considers crawling back under the sheets. Then realizes that you've already used your one excused absence for the semester. Grabs jacket and backpack and leaves dorm in pajamas, hoping no one will notice.

9:02 a.m.

You're about to walk into the class, already knowing you're two minutes late. Absolutely dreading the stares you'll get as you open the loud door and walk into the the 100+ student lecture. You panic because you can't find a seat right away, so you aimlessly walk down the isle until one catches your eye. You sit down, and someone already comments on your pajamas. But you don't care, because you're comfy and still half asleep.

12:00 p.m.

You're finished with your classes for the day and you go to the 90 to get lunch. You tell yourself that you are going to eat something different today. But, you walk in and naturally go and get the same turkey sandwich as you do every day.

12:36 p.m

And you're already crashing. Watching Netflix last night until 3 a.m. suddenly wasn't such a good idea. You need a midday pick-me-up so you head over to Willy T Starbucks to grab a quick drink.

12:45 p.m.

You make it to Starbucks but see that the line is a mile long. You contemplate leaving, but the coffee smells too good. While standing in line, you can't help but to get frustrated because all you want is a regular coffee, and you hear everyone else ordering their non-fat, no whip, venti white chocolate mochas with soy milk. No wonder the line takes so long.

1:23 p.m.

You grab your coffee and go find your friends who are sitting in the library. You have a ton of homework due tonight, so you want to get as much as you can done now.

2:00 p.m.

You have accomplished nothing at the library because you and your friends have been talking about what to do for Spring Break. Suddenly, you trap yourself into getting on Pinterest. You accept the fact that you will get nothing done right now.

2:45 p.m

Now that you've procrastinated enough, and you're somewhat awake, you decide you really need to do homework. You say bye to your friends and head back to your dorm.

3:10 p.m

You get back to your dorm and see that your roommate is heading to the gym. For a moment, you feel as if you should go, since you haven't gone all semester. But, then you remember that it takes a lot of effort to get there. So, you lay down on your bed for a super quick power nap.

7:00 p.m

Randomly, you wake up very confused and slightly unsure what day it is. Your super quick power nap turned into a 4-hour slumber. Though it was a much-needed nap, you really need to get yourself together and do your homework.

9:17 p.m

You finally have done a decent amount of homework. You head over to Red Bang Bang and get your quality $3 feast.

10:25 p.m

You get back to your dorm and hang out with your floor-mates. Everyone is pigging out on ice-cream and leftover pizza while telling stories from the weekend before.

12:00 a.m.

Time got away from you and your floor-mates, you crawl back into your bed and attempt to fall asleep.

12:03 a.m.

You're wide awake and not falling asleep anytime soon. Mad Mush cheese-sticks sound too good.

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.
