The world sees us as nerds, geeks, weirdos, and know it alls. However people, we are much more than that! We aren’t freaks, we are just good at what we do.

Ew, Why would you want that major?

We know you all cringe at us saying we are biology or chemistry majors. We get it, it’s gross to you. But we enjoy it, we are good at it, and it may scare you a bit. However, we need these classes to get into grad school and to get a job. These classes prepare us for our careers whether we want to take them or not. We are taking them because they pay off the in long run.

And to the liberal arts students, be thankful for us because we tutor you when you have to take the most basic of our classes.

You're going to be in school forever!

Yeah, we will be in school a tab bit longer than most of our friends, but it seriously pays off. Most of us will be in school after under grad for two to four years, plus a residency. Yes, it is awhile and, yes, we know you will be getting jobs right out of college. We also know that we will be doctors, chemists, and etc. This means that we will be doing things for the good of society. Some of us might find a cure for cancer, preform open heart surgery, or create new medicines to fight diseases.

We also know that we will be making bank eventually -- so we aren’t too worried about the student loans in grad school.

Do you live in the library?

OK, people, we aren’t complete nerds. We do live a little. We have free time and time to relax away from the classroom. The library is our second home, but we get our work done.

We go out on the weekends and enjoy it. We don’t hold up in our rooms with note cards in hands at all times. Our major does come with a lot of work and studying but we make sure we do what we need to do when we are supposed to do it. We are smart about our time management. If we have tests or mass quantities of homework we make sure we stay in and do it. But if we have it all done, you know for a fact we are going to be out with our friends.

And we science majors know that after we have a big test, you need to celebrate with your classmates.

Why do you have so many notecards?

Organic Chemistry.

So world -- we take these classes because we want to. We are good at it, even though our classes make us want to smack our head off the library walls sometimes. No, people, we do not spend all day and night in the libraries. We have lives, and we like to take naps. We even go out on the weekends and skip a class here and there. We are just like you, only a little nerdier. We, too, can be cool.

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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
