39 Things We Forget

As a whole, there is so much we forget to do. Sometimes we even forget that we are human beings and that we are capable of doing so much more than we realize. These are a few things that are forgotten and should be remembered. These are also a few things that are forgotten and make life that much better.

1. Our keys, that’s when we have to jump through the window or call AAA.

2. Any and all birthdays until they are a day away.

3. Phone numbers, even sometimes our own.

4. Anniversaries – I feel like this is a big one for men.

5. Our phones, AKA our lives!

6. Money in our pockets before the clothes get washed.

7. Time – we never remember all the time we do or do not have.

8. Names of people we see once in a blue moon

9. Names of the family when you're pissed (In my family, it's Daihjon, Destinee, James, Tayiah, Jaiden, Bobby! Alina get over here, you knew what I meant!)

10. Friendships when we move from opportunity to opportunity.

11. Debit cards because wallets are just too organized.

12. Wallets because who can keep track of something that small.

13. Shoes because they never want to stay in a pair.

14. Clothing because they never end up where they are supposed to be.

15. Plans because one can only do so much.

16. How to match when in a rush because everything should be able to go together.

17. Homework – this one is self-explanatory.

18. Deadlines because more time should always be available, even when it's not.

19. To set the alarm because nobody wants to wake up.

20. Promises, because some are meant to be broken

21. Wishes because they always change with time.

22. Goals because they are either accomplished or changed.

23. Dreams because they are meant to be dreamt.

24. Sleep because we are so busy living life.

25. When to eat because food tastes better at midnight!

26. How long it takes to do things because we think we are Flash.

27. The stress before the vacation or trip because we get to have fun on it.

28. The fun we had on that trip that one year because of all the other adventures we are having.

29. To feed the cat because they sadly can’t feed themselves.

30. To take out the trash because we would rather have the house smell.

31. To do the dishes because paper plates always work so much better.

32. To have fun because sometimes work gets in the way.

33. To make the bed because we are just going to get back in it anyway.

34. To let the emotion out sometimes because we are always trying to seem stronger than we are.

35. To relax because our muscles are always going.

36. To breathe because sometimes we don’t realize how good it feels to do.

37. To live because everything is so busy existing.

38. To trust because everyone is not out to get you.

39. To love because it is the best feeling in the world.

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.

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.
