I Don't Want To Graduate From College Just Yet

These are the best years of your life, why would you want to leave?

I Don't Want To Graduate From College Just Yet

Just as the title says, I do not want to graduate from college.

Ok, of course, I want to graduate in order to obtain a degree, and progress in life. But also I kind of don't want to because I am going to miss my friends, my life in this crazy college town, my apartment, and being on my parent's payroll. (Need I say more?)

I am just not all that jazzed about having to pay real bills, get a real job, and being a real adult. I am not afraid to say that I selfishly like running around college and not worrying about anything other than what I am going to wear out that night or where the next birthday pre is going to be.

College is literally the best time of your life where you make some of your best memories and it makes me salty af that we ever have to leave this magical place. If you do not feel this way about your soon-to-be alma mater then you definitely spent the last few years at the wrong place.

Think back to when you were graduating from high school, you would count down the days until you were free of that prison, but graduating college is literally the opposite. I refuse to even learn the date of graduation. (Even though my family is constantly asking.)

Everyone knows that all good things must come to an end, therefore I am thankful for the time I had in college. I am so lucky to have met friends I hope to keep for life, and even luckier to know that I can look back on these years and hold securely in the fact that I appreciated every moment of it.

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.

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.
