The life of a college student is hectic. Each week students have class, homework, reading, tests, quizzes, jobs, clubs and other extracurricular activities while still being expected to make time for a social life. There are a few stages that every College of Charleston student goes through.

1. Having absolutely no money to do anything with friends

2. Waking up and having to deal with all the people you don't want to deal with

3. Writing an essay and having no idea what you’re writing about

4. When someone keeps asking the dumbest questions in class and you just want them to shut up and let the professor teach

5. Trying to be nice to someone and then realizing they're not worth your time

6. Thinking walking across the Cistern won't matter, but then freaking out that you actually did it and won't graduate

7. Applying for jobs and being asked about your weaknesses

8. Pulling an all nighter and then having to go to an exam

9. When something in your life actually goes according to the plan

10. Sleeping in and not going to your first class

11. That moment when you realize you’re close to the freshman 15 so you make your friend eat more healthily with you


12. When it has been a long day and you finally get a break

13. When your family asks how your semester is going

14. When someone says to you that you eat way too much


15. When you have no food so you resort to stealing some from your roommates

16. When you study for hours on end, and you still fail

17. When you spread yourself so thin, you literally save every second possible


18. No matter how stressful it is, you wouldn’t change a thing

Although college students tend to spread themselves very thin and they have to participate in many activities, college is a wonderful time for everyone to figure out what they want to do with their lives. Although it can be hectic and stressful, it is worth all the stress to see what you can become.

    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?
