Late-Night Musings

When people get a little strange in the head.

Late-Night Musings
Forbes

When the hours blur together (usually this occurs between 4 A.M. and 6 A.M., when 'too late' becomes 'too early'), the mind tends to go a bit wonky...

And what results is a random conglomeration of totally irrelevant, non sequitur trains of thought. Here's a peek at what the mind of Julianne wanders off to explore at the wispy hours of late nights/early mornings. (Coincidentally as I compile this, it is 4:08 A.M.)

4:08:05 a.m. I wonder what would happen if I wrote love poetry for myself?

4:08:30 a.m. What if I used toothpaste as face wash, and face wash as toothpaste?

4:09:00 a.m. What if I just never washed anything?

4:13:12 a.m. Why is the Twilight Saga soundtrack so good?! (Also... Why "saga"? Like, that just sounds so pretentious and ridiculous.)

4:20:01 a.m. I could legally get married right now. But I have no one to marry.

4:20:45 a.m. Though, I suppose that's not true... If I went to Vegas I bet I could find some random kiddo ready to jump the gun.

4:25:32 a.m. I wonder what it was like to be Kurt Vonnegut. Did he have a wife?

4:30:20 a.m. Pubic hair is like... a vagina beard. Like a full on beard. That was so wrong. I should probably delete that.

4:31:02 a.m. But I won't.

4:31:10 a.m. I want breakfast. Three more hours to go before the servery opens...

4:32:00 a.m. Oh. My. Gosh. I am so hungry.

4:47:09 a.m. I wonder if anyone would yell at me if I just ran up and down the central stairwell. But then, why would I ever want to do that?

5:02:12 a.m. Roommate: Let's have some drunken kung fu!

Me: No. That is a terrible idea. (At least I was coherent enough to realize that.)

5:15:34 a.m. Huh. Taylor Swift is pretty hot. Too bad she seems like... not the nicest person in the world.

5:27:45 a.m. One day they're going to find a way to marry yourself. And by "they" I mean me. I've thought about this, yeah. Isn't marriage the celebration and declaration of your love? Why can't you do that for yourself? Right?

6:01:03 a.m. That moment when you think you're gonna stay up for breakfast and feel like a badass mofo, but you're just fooling yourself. You're going to fall asleep. And miss your morning classes.

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.
