The 2nd Month Of College

My life is an organized mess.

Oct 25, 2016

The 2nd month of college is equivalent to how I imagine sky-diving feels like. You are having a blast, but at the same time, you feel like you might have a mental breakdown and pass out at any point. Between midterms, freshmen 15, and a social life, we are all just trying to keep it together.

Freshman year is definitely an adjustment. It's only the second month of being in a totaly new environment, yet I feel like I've lived in the same dorm for about two years already. It's so weird to think about how different my life was just a couple of months ago. I already know I made some of my best friends for the rest of my life. Odds are me and my roommates will end up in the same elderly home 65 years from now together. Why is this starting to sound like a super cheesy old Full House episode? Moving on...

The second month of college really makes you realize how much you miss certain things at home. You aren't really "homesick", you just miss the stupid small stuff you always took for granted. You don't actually want to go home, you just wish certain things from home could be at school with you. For example, I really miss having chicken that was properly cooked. I didn't realize that chicken was such a big deal in my life until I came to college. I currently feel like a vegetarian, which is really not my type of thing (not hating on vegetarians, I just like bacon a little too much). Another thing you begin to get annoyed with during this month is the bathrooms. Who supplies the toilet paper around here? Clearly not someone with a good soul.

As Kylie Jenner would say, "This is the year of just realizing stuff". Now replace "year" with "month". Bravo Kylie, you are describing my life right now, you go girl. During October, you realize who your friend groups are, if the kid who sits next to you is creepy or flirty, and just overall if you are overall happy or not. If you aren't happy, make some changes because this is supposed to be the "best years of your life". I was also told that saying was about high school but whoever said that about high school probably never made it to college.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
