Have You Met Your College Best Friend Yet?

College best friends are a thing.

Have You Met Your College Best Friend Yet?

One of my first worries before going to college was, how will I make new friends? Knowing that since I'm a very shy/quiet person when you first meet me, it would be hard for me to communicate comfortably in making new friends. Plus, I was going to a college where I didn't know anyone at all. So I knew it wouldn't be easy as it was in High School.

But, guess what!

The small campus size that I chose, the amazing, nice, polite people that I've met. It was just the opposite of what I thought it would be. AWESOME. My experience got real exciting when I had found my College Best Friend on the very first day of Orientation. It all started by "Do you want to be Roommates?". And that's when the crazy adventure started.

The hardest part was summer vacation of Freshmen year...

We lived in different states and that's when I realized how much I missed being at college with my Best Friend. Three months of summer vacation was a struggle. I just couldn't wait for it to be over and start being back in school and restart the amazing times we've had.

(College made us realize that she is addicted to Chick Fil a, while i'm addicted to Taco Bell)

Here are a list of things I remember from Freshmen Year of College:

Midnight walks to abandoned places

Ghost Hunting

Spring Break Trip

Midnight Taco Bell emergencies

Trip(s) to the beach

Hanging Rock, North Carolina

Driving 4 hours to adopt a puppy and ending up giving it back the next morning

Going to the library to "study", but ending up "trying to study"

etc.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"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.
