Rush Week As Told By Friends

Rush week is slowly approaching, and your house is nervously preparing for the incoming member class. It is imperative you get great girls this year, and your recruitment chair has been frantically planning for the past few weeks now for just that. It's a chapter-wide effort to try to recruit the best all-around girls on campus, and you're ready for the challenge. With your cute new rush dresses from Tobi and feet-breaking but fabulous tan (not brown) wedges, you strut into your house ready to meet some babies. It's now up to you to pick out the finest rush week has to offer. Besides, no one wants a weird new little in the fam.

When the first group of girls walk in the house to start round one.

When you have to make the usual "What's your major?" and "Did you come summer B?" small talk because you might as well be talking to a brick wall.

But then you meet a PNM you really like.

When you see girls you loved on the list again for round two.

Three hours later and you're starving but have two more groups to go before lunch.

When you get paired to talk to a PNM and can't seem to find anything in common.

But you look across the room and your friend is having a conversation about HUM2305 – what is the Good Life?

When you realize a girl you really liked dropped your house.

But then a girl you liked more is on the list.

Two words: dessert round.

When you're delusional at the end of the day but realize you still have three hours of small talk left.

When it's pref round and you get to talk to your rush crush.

The morning of bid day.

When your new babies run off the bus.

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.
