Reasons To Consider Experiencing the "College Life"
Longwood University

If you're almost at the point in life where you're debating on going to college or not, or even if you're already in college and are wondering if the "college life" is your thing, just do it. Go to college. Stay in college. It's an experience that not everyone is lucky enough to get.

Here are a few reasons to consider experiencing the "college life":

1.) Lifelong friends.

In college, you'll meet some of the most amazing friends you can ever have. In college, I have met so many people who I don't know what I would do without. I am so glad that I met them.

2.) The diversity.

You meet a variety of people when you go to college. It's interesting to see the diversity among people. You get to learn about others during your first year, mainly, but also throughout the later years, too. The typical conversation starter is "Where are you from?" or "What's your major?"

3.) The education.

I can't leave out the education! College is a dramatic change from high school, but if you know what you want to do in the real world, then college is what gets you towards your future.

4.) The journey.

In college, you learn how to be more independent. It is most definitely a journey to remember. You'll probably even do things you'd never thought you'd do. Have fun, but also take it seriously. You will experience good and bad days, but if you make the days count, it will all be worth it.

Hopefully, you make memories funny enough to tell your kids and even grand-kids one day!

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.

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.
