Long distance relationships are very common going into college. Obviously they aren't the best situation to be in, but people that want to be together will make it work anyway. Here are the stages I'm sure everyone in a long distance relationship can relate to.

1. Trying to have a good time with your friends at school.

You know that you only get to experience college once so you try and make the most of it. You tell yourself that you should be having the time of your life, yet you still can only think about one thing(or more specifically one person).

2. Counting down the days until your first visit.

When you plan your first visit it is always super exciting because you actually have a date you know you will see your BAE. Once the date is marked on your calendar you always know how many days it will be until you see your significant other.

3. Getting annoyed by everyone else's PDA while you're alone.

You really don't hate PDA until you're not with your boyfriend/girlfriend for a long period of time. Watching other people be able to do cute couple things just makes you miss your boyfriend/girlfriend so much more.

4. Getting super excited the day before BAE is finally coming.

The day before your bae comes is always so exciting since you haven't seen him/her in forever. That one day seems so long because you can't think of anything other than the fact you will be reunited in a short 24 hours.


5. Running into each others arms.

This is by far the best feeling in the world. Finally being back together with the person you love. Finally being able to touch them after being away from them for so long.

6. Enjoying every moment together.

No matter what you are doing it is a million times better because you're together.

7. Having the "I miss you already talk".

This often happens the day/night before you know you will have to say goodbye. You get upset because you know your time is coming to an end and you hate that.

8. Saying Goodbye.

This is without a doubt the hardest part of long distance relationships. Sometimes you have no idea when you're going to see each other again which makes it even harder.

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.
