The First Semester Of College As Told By The Grinch

Jim Carrey as The Grinch acts as though he has been in college himself. He understands the ins and outs of trying to survive the first semester at college and the joys of getting to go home for Christmas. Here is the first semester of college as told by "The Grinch."

1. Looking at your class schedule.

Freshman register last, therefore they get the worst choice in classes.

2. When your friends invite you to go out.

3. Waking up to people screaming in the dorm halls.

Of course it always seems to happen in the middle of the night or really early in the morning.

4. Having to find something to wear. To anything.

Whether you're going to a party, Greek Life events, or a club parties, what you wear matters.

5. Forgetting that you have to do laundry and having to live with the consequences.

It happened to the best of us. You just couldn't find time to do laundry and you're stuck with the clothes you shouldn't have even brought to college in the first place.

6. Not having a normal eating schedule.

If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

7. Having class on the 3rd floor with no elevator.

It gets slightly easier as the semester goes on, but it's still never fun.

8. Finally getting the inspiration to write your next paper.

9. When finals are done and winter break starts.


December happens so quickly that Christmas is here before you know it.

10. When you get your final grades back.

At least you passed your class. Hopefully.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
