Moving In To College Housing Is Hard
theodysseyonline

It is that time of year again. The time of year when parents come in droves to move their precious child into their apartment, dorm, or house for the school year. This time of year can be a very emotional one for the parents and child as they say goodbye until they see one another again. This can also be an emotional time due to the lack of air conditioning in most older places in Ann Arbor. You may find yourself actually crying at night because you have never sweat so much in your entire life and you actually think that you bed is more like a kiddie pool of sweat and dismay than an actual bed. If you are one of those kids who have been blessed enough to be given housing in one of the air conditioned dorms, chilled apartments, or have an unreal self regulating temperate that causes you to never sweat, then good for you but I would like to tell you right now that I’m jealous and I hate you for it.

This past week I moved into my house that I’m living in this year. After carrying my excessive amount of clothes, shoes, and miscellaneous things that will probably fall under my bed and never be seen again, up to my room I can confidently say that I have never sweat so much in my entire life. During these excruciating two hours I had many thoughts, some of them included choice words that my mother would not be too pleased to hear me saying. But, some thoughts seem so relatable to most college aged students that I decided to share them now:

“I’m so hot.”

“I’ve never sweat this much in my life.”

“Can you pass out from sweating too much?”

“No boy will ever be attracted to me looking like this.”

“Do I have a sweating problem?”

“Does my body not regulate temperature?”

“This is the most exercise I’ve gotten in months.”

“My fitbit says I’ve gone 23 stairs, I feel like it should be more.”

“I haven’t even hit my step goal yet.”

“I’m so hot.”

“I wonder if I hide out in the car if my parents will just finish up for me.”

“Does Selena Gomez sweat like this?”

“I need to be more like Selena.”

“I just wanna look good for ya, good for ya.”

“This is horrible.”

“How are there still things in the car?”

“Should I cut my losses on those things?”

“We need an elevator.”

“I’m so hot.”

"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.

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.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
