Remember the days when heading to school, neon My Little Pony lunchbox in hand, at eight a.m was the hardest part of your day?

You got dropped off in car line and headed to your classroom to be greeted with a morning To-Do list that had to be done by the time the morning news came on. In the moment, nap times sucked and staying up late was a gift sent from above. Now, sitting here sleep deprived, we wish we could go back to the days of homework passes and recess.

Here are 19 things everyone remembers from their public elementary school days:

1. Limited Too.

The only place with the trendy clothes

2. Tamagotchis.

This was everyones' first child.

3. The Book Fair.

Dog posters for days.

4. Meet the teacher night.

Aka, see if all your BFFs are in your class.

5. Single-File lines.

If you aren't the leader, who are you?

6. Multiplication timed test.

Honestly the most stressful 90 seconds of your career.

7. Rainbow parachute during P.E.

WOOHOO!

8. M.A.S.H.

Married to Troy Bolton with five kids in a mansion driving a garbage truck and working as a teacher.

9. Earning "Student of the Month."

Mom better put this sticker on the back of her car!

10. The recorder.

Hottt, Crossss, Bunssss.

11. Cosmic Brownies.

You either had none, or you had 12 for all your lunch table peeps.

12. "S."

The "S."

13. THE behavior chart.

*gets moved to the red zone*... "I swear mom, my teacher hates me!"

14. Tech Decks.

Hey bro, can you do an ollie?

15. Pencil Grips.

Pink gooey with a dash of sparkle.

16. 5th grade Safety Patrol.

Look at you all authoritative in your neon yellow safety belt.

17. Heads Up, Seven Up.

A game every, single substitute teacher knew.

18. Recess.

You better sprint to the swings.

19. NintenDogs.

They dead.

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.
