Life Without A Twitter Account

Believe it or not, this is possible.

Life Without A Twitter Account
Twitter

Am I even a college student? Well, according to my tuition bill, yes, yes I am. Believe it or not, it is possible to survive without a Twitter in this day in age. There’s still Facebook and Instagram after all. I’m not that secluded from society, guys. I spend enough time on social media, and I don’t need a Twitter to make me even more addicted to my phone. Plus, I don’t have to worry about making a puny Twitter handle or even tweeting at all.

I feel a bit behind the curve, I’m not going to lie. When people are like, “’Favorite my tweet!’” I’m the person who asks, “What was it?” and never gets a response. Even better is when people ask, “‘Did you see this on Twitter?’”. Of course you didn’t! Then they give you that pity look as if you’re really missing out on something. It’s ok, I know I’m not, and if I am, oh well. There’re worse things that could happen in the world than missing out on a funny tweet.

Most people I know are on Twitter, even my mom. It’s sad that she knows about things happening on my campus before I do… and I live here. Ok, so maybe that’s a downside of being Twitterless. Maybe that’s a sign that it’s time to get a Twitter, but I’m surviving just fine without one. Contrary to popular belief, there are other ways to find out about events and news other than through a Twitter news feed. There are these things called bulletins, and clubs post information on them. Crazy right?!? Who knew? Emails are also extremely helpful. I don’t know how people live without them. They really are my lifeline to all things school-related. Without them, I’d be clueless.

So not having a Twitter can be done, and there are plenty of people who can say the same. Eventually, maybe I’ll get a Twitter. Probably by the time I decide to get an account, though, it won’t be popular anymore. Not surprising at all.

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.
