14 Things I Lose Way Too Often


  1. Socks - I don’t know if the dryer has a sock fairy or not, but my socks always come back out with the matching missing.
  2. Bookmarks - Am I one of the only people that doesn’t read books online? I can’t stand staring at a screen for hours. Unfortunately, I suck at keeping up with bookmarks too so I’m forced to ruin my good books via dog-earing the pages.
  3. Bobby Pins - Although I seem to lose these and leave them everywhere, I also find them all over my room.
  4. My Phone - *looks for my phone right now*
  5. The Grocery List - I feel so accomplished when I sit down and write out my list. I feel absolutely awful when I lose it in the car on the way to the grocery store.
  6. Money - If all of your change doesn’t fall into the gaping black hole in between your front car seats, do you even drive? This never fails.
  7. Cards - Debit cards, Birthday cards, ID cards. You name it, I’ve misplaced them.
  8. Mail - Usually putting all of the junk mail in the garbage or on the counter somewhere seems like no big deal, that is until the one tiny piece of important information you were looking for is in that massive pile somewhere.
  9. Nail Polish - Somehow, every time I take my favorite polish to the salon, it never makes it back to my house. I smell a conspiracy.
  10. Hair Ties - Just buy these in bulk. If they don’t break on you first, they just run away.
  11. Name Tag - I show up to work, nameless, for at least half of the week. Once, I left my magnetic name tag on top of my car and remembered mid-way through my morning commute. A casual retrieval while going down the highway was definitely necessary.
  12. Pens - These are the office supply equivalent of losing the bobby pins.
  13. Chapstick - Lord have mercy. WHERE DO THEY GO?
  14. Sanity - I lost this when I started college. If I’m not stressed, something isn’t right. That obviously means that I forgot about something.

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?

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.
