The Good Things About School

It's the little things that count.

The Good Things About School
Oregon Live

School is one big bummer. Nobody wants to go. It truly does suck. But even though you may hate it more than anything, there are some good things to do.

1. Organization

For me, by the end of summer I am a hot mess who can't get out of bed. School fixes that for me. It builds me a routine that I can follow and makes me get out of the house.

2. New clothes

When was going shopping for back to school clothes not the best thing ever?

3. Wearing those new clothes and stunting on people

Walking down those hallways and knowing you look good in front of all the people you don't like.

4. Seeing your favorite teachers again for the first time

We all have a couple teachers that make school worth it for us.

5. Reconnecting with old friends

You may have some friends you didn't get to see over the summer that you miss. And school's the best excuse to socialize.

6. Playing sports

If you're an athletic person, school means the start of fall sports, the season you've been waiting for.

7. Clubs

There are clubs for almost anyone in school. Meeting other people with mutual interests is never a bad thing.

8. School crushes

They may be dumb and not worth your time, but it is a great way to kill time and procrastinate in school. Giving your attention to a cute someone makes school a little bit for fun.

9. Field trips

Need I say more?

10. Movie time

You may not be in elementary school anymore and it may be a boring educational movie, but at least movie time always equals nap time.

11. Learning

You know, the whole sole reason that you're actually there. Broadening your horizons and becoming a better person is always the best part.

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. 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.
