Once A T-Bird, Always A T-Bird

Class of 2015

Once A T-Bird, Always A T-Bird

Being a senior in high school, not only did we "run" the school, but those where some of the most memorable months we will ever have from high school.

Starting off high school as a freshman, all we could say was "How many more days until senior year?" or "damn I wish I was a senior already." It came up fast and senior year was right around the corner. Although waking up at 5am to get ready and sit in classrooms that felt like a sauna, I will always cherish the memories.

1. Football Games

My school really loved the football nights and those games on Friday nights where nights where we all got together as a family and supported our classmates. It didn't matter if it was 80 degrees out and sweating or 20 degrees out and freezing, we all made an effort to show love and support to our Thunderbirds in the Bird Cage.

2. Senior Banquet

Senior Banquet was kind of like a "Pre Prom" just for us to come together and get ready for the big night. Banquet involved of dancing, food, and tears. As the night was coming to an end, we all sat down and cried as we watched our Senior Video of us from freshman to our final year in high school. That video showed us that even though we all may not get along, we can make it happen and make the memories and end our high school career on a good note.

3. Prom Night

Some say Prom would be the best night of your life but some also say it will be the worst night of your life. Prom was one to remember. Prom was a night where the girls can buy dresses that cost hundreds of dollars and spend a huge amount on their makeup and hair all just for one night. Prom was a night for the girls to feel like a princess being escorted by some boy. Our fairy tale dream came to life.

4. Graduation

The day came fast and it was time for us to all stand proud and say we made it. This was a day we all made it together. As we all sat in red and white, smiling, crying, and waving goodbye. It was finally our time to walk across the stage and shine as we get handed a diploma for all the accomplishes we made in the last four years. As the final announcement was called, we all stood tall and threw our hats in the air. High school came to an end.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
