10 Lies College Students Tell Their Parents

1. You don’t drink/do drugs

Drugs? Never heard of them. Your parents clearly know you do stupid shit in college, they only care that you're safe while doing them. They would prefer you don’t do them, but because college is so stressful, we have no intention of actually harming our bodies. We simply just want to relieve the stress through recreational drugs.

2. You're getting good grades

I only have one A, two BCs and one C, and I dropped a math class. So, I should end up around a 2.5ish. I think that’s a fair grade, don’t you think? I mean Cs get degrees.

3. You still clean your room

Hell no. I'm lazy as shit.

4. You’re not broke

Cardboard boxes seems like a fine place to raise a family.

5. You have your future all planned out

Being a stripper doesn’t sound too bad.

6. You miss your parents the most about being home

It clearly is your dog or any pet, and if you don’t have a pet then it’s your bed. I love my parents, don’t get me wrong and I know you do, too. But c’mon, our dogs and beds are more important. They understand us better than our parents anyways so it’s only fair.

7. You tell them that you gave their change back in their wallet when you clearly pocketed it

Shh. I will cut you if you rat me out.

8. You're not sexually active

Haha yeah good one, I’ve never seen breasts either...

9. You found a healthy hobby, sleeping off that hangover

I love bed. Bed loves me.

10. You’re not addicted to caffeine or anything addictingSo the next time you go home for the holidays, just remember that you're parents went through this shit too or something similar. It is to the benefit of the college student to acknowledge their parents pestering questions, and answer them in the safest way possible. So this holiday season, why be on the naughty list when you can simply alter your response to put you on the good one. We're not lying, we're just fixing our stance so that we can get some presents this Christmas.

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.
