My Experience in a Different College Town

Memories That I made in Auburn Alabama

My Experience in a Different College Town

My goal each year of my college experience is to go to at least one away game and cheer on the bulldogs from the visitor section.

When the opportunity came up for my friends and I go to go to the Auburn v.s. Mississippi State game, since one of my friends is from the town of Auburn, I jumped on the opportunity and said yes very quickly. There was about twelve of us that went and we all stayed at her beautiful home that was twenty minutes away from the campus and the downtown life of Auburn.

Let me start on by saying the town is absolutely beautiful filled with lush trees and interesting architecture. The entire campus of Auburn is extremely uniform and professional looking and very modern and up to date on the inside of buildings. Everyone was super nice and cheerful as if it was like every person I came in contact with was like I had known them my whole life. Even when we were getting beat very badly, the Auburn fans never once said rude things or turned their noses up at me and my friends. When we got the stadium we sat down and looked out to a whole arena filled with orange and blue pom poms. They were all yelling "War Eagle Hey!!!!" and right before the game was my favorite part. The reason that the beginning was my favorite part was because before every game starts a bald eagle circles the field and then at the very last second drops onto the field to pick up an animal or something but during that everyone is cheering and waving pom poms and it was such an honor to see the traditions of another college.

The one thing that I took away from Auburn Alabama was the people were amazing and if I had a second choice as to where I could go to college it would be to Auburn University!

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.

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.
