The Struggle Bus Is Real

All of us have bad days – some of us are probably even having a rough day right now. This article is for you. These are some of the most common causes of feeling like you’re riding the struggle bus. Don’t worry. You’re not alone.

You continue to write ‘2016’ on all of your papers.

We’re already a month into 2017 and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve written 2016 on papers. It’s a small mistake but it’ll get you every time.

You repeatedly dress for the wrong weather.

Ohio weather is always unpredictable, but this winter has been something else. As soon as you get used to the rain, it gets super cold. Then two days later you’re wearing shorts. You keep having to go right back inside to change because of the drastic weather changes.

You can’t remember what day it is.

The days are blending together. Whether you show up at the wrong class or just can’t figure out the day in your head, you’re riding the struggle bus and should find some way to figure it out.

You misplaced your phone while it was in your hand.

Losing your phone is one of the toughest things to misplace – it has your whole life on it! Because losing your phone is an instant panic attack, sometimes you panic too early.

You opened the fridge and forgot what you went in there to get.

“Oh I was just coming in here to get the…” It’s incredibly easy to do when you’re multitasking.

You don’t remember where you parked your car.

If you use your car every day, you can get your days mixed up. This is the most time consuming struggle bus ride to finish because you might not be in the correct parking lot or on the correct street.

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.

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?
