Jayhawk Boulevard is a magical place, full of beautiful architecture, rich history and intriguing people. But sometimes, you find yourself watching things or in some cases avoiding things when you are strolling through. Here are a few things that you might experience when you get to Jayhawk Boulevard.

You might see...

1.Smokers out in front of buildings and therefore you may be forced to try and to avoid having the second-hand smoke come into contact with your eyes or breathing it into your lungs. But it’s a free country and people can smoke where they want, right?

2.People finding it hard to understand how the Underground works. Yes, it’s a mess and everyone knows it, but we just have to find a cohesive way to struggle together in a way that doesn’t cause a total clusterf*$#.

3.Preachers out in front of Wescoe, avoid them like your life depends on it. Trust me.

4.The perplexed faces of the freshman who are still trying to get a hang of this whole college thing.

5.People dodging the onset of busses, bicyclists and skateboarders. Sometimes they just come out of nowhere, man.

6.The struggle of walking up that God forsaken hill. It really is that bad.

7.Frat-packs emerging from Budig, then insist on walking in a straight line and never leave any room for other people on the sidewalk. Thanks, guys.

8.The overall confusion that is Wescoe. Seriously, that building is stressful.

9. The reactions of the people who have never been around the whistle before. It's loud and sometimes takes you by surprise.

10. Total Jayhawk pride.

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?
