5 People You'll Miss From Your First Year Of College
Jennifer Graft

Your first year of college is a life-changing experience. You will try new things, and push your boundaries. Even if the only new thing you try is living away from home, there will still be plenty of new things to experience. Along with this, you will also meet new people and hopefully make at least a few close friends. The difficult part comes when you are done with classes for the year, everyone moves out, and you realize that one of your new best friends lives three hours away, and two others are working at summer camp. It will be weird not being able to walk across the hall to harass them. So, from personal experience, here are the five friends you will miss during the summer after freshman year.

1. The one who is no longer your roommate.

Whether this was a random roommate assignment or not, even if you didn’t get along with your roommate you will still probably miss living with them in some way. I mean, you did inhabit the same tiny cell for, like, nine months. It will be weird not seeing their face every morning.

2. The goofy friend.

This friend is the one who always makes stupid jokes, acts clownish, but is also as sweet as can be. It is likely you will miss their joking nature, their laugh, and being able to play a hilarious game of Cards Against Humanity with them.

3. The one you had ALL of the classes with.

You may not be best friends or anything, but you sure have spent a lot of time in class and studying together. Whether it’s because you’re on the same career path or not, you have gotten to know this person fairly well. What will you do without them?

4. The one who really ~gets you.~

In college, you might be lucky enough to find a friend who you can really talk to about anything, and like 80% of the time they will say “SAME.” It’s crazy, actually- you were in the same high school sport, struggle with some of the same issues, and enjoy the same beverages. Your majors might be entirely different, but you really understand one another.

5. The best friend.

This is the friend you can rant back and forth with, and they will never judge you. You might not have gone through the same things, but you can always be truly honest with each other. There is nothing you can’t go to them for, and no matter how gross the guy they made out with is- you are always supportive of one another. They also probably give the best hugs.

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.

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.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
