15 People You'll Meet On Your Small Campus, Because You Couldn't Avoid Them If You Tried
Giphy

1. The IM Leagues guy

Signs up for every intermural sport, recruits for his teams, and uses Facebook messenger to send 'a reminder' before every game. Also nominates himself as "coach."

2. The Drunk

Goes to all the frat parties but says, "being in a frat is too much of a commitment." You really wonder how he's still passing, how many times he can be found in a bush the morning after, or how many times he'll sneak a flask into a lecture.

3. Miss Optimistic

The girl that's always excited to see everyone. You're honestly tired after talking to her because you feel like you should match her energy level but really it was more energy than you had for the whole day.

4. The Popular

You thought you could ditch the click in high school but guess again. She manages to have more Instagram followers than you have Facebook friends, goes to home games just to look cute for themed nights, and all the girls on campus follow her trends.

5. The Jock that doesn't play sports

The guy every girl wants to ask to Sadie Hawkins and will never get the nerve to. Then they're blown away by who actually asks him.

6. The guy you have to wake up for class

He's probably your best friend and his most frequent text to you is, "What'd we do in class today?"

7. The walking textbook

You wonder how many pens and highlighters a person can own. You also wish you had their detailed hourly planner.

8. The gym junkie

Majoring in Physical education. You probably walk by the same water fountain that's in his Tinder profile pic: a post work out mirror selfie from your campus gym.

9. The "on my way" friend

Has an exam the next day but says they'll be at your place in ten.

10. The frat guy(s)

In high school, he wore the same Nike shorts everyday but now he wears turquois-colored khaki shorts, boat shoes, and greek letters like it's a religion.

11. The Pre-yoga mom

Promotes essential oils, goes to hot yoga, and majors in Family Studies.

12. The artist

Probably outside on campus with a view and watercolors. You figured out what their name is by reading a flyer on your lunch table and saw their picture in the "Featured Artist of the Month" column.

13. The Basic

Just there to get through their classes, loves to hang out with friends or chill by themselves. Trends really aren't their thing.

14. The nice girl

She pretty, genuine, has all guy friends, and you'll never hear anything bad thing about her.

15. The Netflixer

Every college student ever because what college kid doesn't binge watch Netflix?

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.
