5 Thoughts On The First Day of Classes
David Travis

Going into my senior year of college, I have had sixteen (well seventeen if you count kindergarten) first days and each year brings something new to the table. In grade school, everyone was just so excited to see all of their friends and exploring what the new school year had to offer, such as: meeting your new teacher, getting used to your new classroom, going to keyboarding class for the first time, and many other new experiences.

Once junior high arrived, it was a whole new type of the first day. The first day of junior high symbolized this sense of growing up. Instead of having the same teacher for all subjects, you now have multiple teachers. You have to figure out how to time yourself to get to your locker and what things you need in order to get to your classes on time.

Entering high school, a whole new level of freedom falls into play. On the first day, the teachers treat you more as adults, but this also means that you are expected to hold more responsibility. Going to college, it is just a whole new level. Going into my final year of college, I had many different thoughts running through my head and I am sure that others have had similar thoughts as well!

1. First Day=Get Out Early



I definitely had this thought, but, unfortunately, this did not happen for me!

2. What Should I Wear?



Cute or comfy?

3. How Much Are My Books Going To Cost?



Some semesters are more costly than others!

4. A Week Ago I Was By The Pool...



This was definitely me because I was on a vacation just a short week ago!

5. How Many More Days Until The Next Break?



Counting down the days until that next day off!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
