Why Your Second Semester Of College Is Worse Than Senioritis

I thought senioritis was the worst feeling I could experience until I got to my second semester of college.

I didn’t think anything could be worse than senioritis…I WAS WRONG! Second semester of college your freshman year is just as bad, if not worse. Here is why…

1. Spring Parties

Yes, there are parties in high school and your senior year there are tons of graduation parties, but nothing comes close to spring party season. Instead of doing your homework, laundry, cleaning, or anything actually useful, you spend your time going to darties (day parties) and avoid the adult things you should be doing.

2. No Parents

In high school you are blessed by your parents reminding you to do your homework, clean your room, and study when you get lazy due to senioritis. In college you have total freedom. So when you want to watch Netflix, sleep, eat way too much junk food, or spend money on things you really don’t need, there is no one there to stop you.

3. Baseball Season

GOD BLESS BASEBALL SEASON!!!! In college, baseball games like to range anywhere between 11 in the morning to 7 at night. If there is a day game, and it’s nice outside, it’s not uncommon for students to skip class to go to baseball games because nothing beats a day game! I’m not saying that I support it, but I may have done it once or twice. (Mom and Dad, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry.)

4. Realization

Sophomore year is approaching and the “thrill” of college in gone. You realize that you aren’t in college to party, and that you are actually in school to get a degree and learn. In high school when summer is approaching everyone is so excited because it means graduation, summer vacation, and college is right around the corner. Sorry to break your bubble but it’s just more school and more responsibility.

Don't get me wrong though, college is great and you only get one freshman year. It's enjoyable and it flies by so enjoy it while it last!

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.
