Five Ways To Know You Killed The Middle School Game

5 ways to know you killed the middle school game:

1. You insisted on having rainbow braces:

Because one or two colors weren’t enough, you had your orthodontist put the whole rainbow in your mouth. There was no better feeling than having both friends and strangers come up to you complimenting your new look. If that feeling wasn’t similar to cloud 9, then what is?

2. You lived in your Juicy Couture sweatsuits:

Growing up, you felt the need to own not only one, but multiple juicy sweatsuits. Because owning a black one wasn’t enough, you had your parents buy you an array of baby blue, hot pink, lime green and neon yellow sweatsuits (as well as juicy pocketbooks and charm bracelets to obviously complete the look.)

3. You also loved to rep Ed Hardy:

Honestly, you’re probably unsure of what you were thinking when you wore some clothes designed by Christian Audigier, but you do know that you felt cool at the time. You owned and wore so many of his products that you were basically a walking advertisement.

4. Oh, and don’t forgot the colored Uggs:

Because owning a pair with the buttons on the side wasn’t enough. You couldn’t have been more obnoxious wearing a pink, purple and blue pair in sixth grade.

Last but not least-

5. Your butter sweatshirts were some of your most prized possessions:

Looking back on this now, you feel so bad for convincing your mom to spend $100 on a sweatshirt that had studs on the sleeves and weird sayings on the back. We all knew we would never wear them after we graduated anyways.

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.
