The First Two Days of the Semester, As Told By Michael Scott

The first week back to college is a whirlwind of emotions and experiences, so check out the twenty things that are bound to happen if you go to TCNJ.

1. Seeing all of your friends after a LONG summer Break

2. Going out with your friends the first night like old times

3. Drinking too much the first night and instantly regretting your decision

4. Realizing you have to get your shit together for the first day of class

5. So you try to go to the bookstore and get your books that you need, but then you see the long line and you are like

6. Then, you go to Canvas and try to see if your professors have put any syllabi up (but they haven't)

7. Since you can't be productive, you decide to go out AGAIN #dage

8. And again, you regret your decision to go out

9. You walk into your first class and see that boy that you don't talk to anymore

10. Your professor shows up and FINALLY hands out the syllabus

11. The professor starts teaching ON THE FIRST DAY

12. Class is over!!!


13. Going from class to the library and seeing all the excited freshman walking around

14. Okay, library time. Let's try to understand today's class

15. Spending 5 minutes and giving up hope for the rest of the semester


16. Hearing about the Club Fair and getting all of the free stuff clubs give out, so you don't have to do school work

17. Rolling up to the library again after procastinating for 5 hours

18. Looking at Canvas and seeing that ALL of your syllabi are up!?!

19. You immediately begin stressing out, as you wonder how you are gonna get through the semester

20. However, you realize that all of your friends are on the same boat, so you know that it will be a good semester as long as they got your back

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.

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
