Students who love their school will still be able to list off the aspects that suck about it. If you go to Grand Valley State University, here’s 10 things that suck that I’m sure you can relate to.

1. Size:

This can be a good thing but not when you try to get a quick bite to eat on campus and end up bumping into everyone. It can range from co-workers to classmates to old high school peeps you were hoping you could avoid.

2. Doors:

Everyone holds doors open for people at Grand Valley State University. At times, it gets to a degree of politeness that just seems weird. You don’t have to wait 1-5 minutes for me so I can get through the door. Thanks, but no thanks.

3. Tailgating.

We get it, it gets crazy before games. But please put your empty bottles in the trash!


4. Printing:

This has just recently become a problem but avoiding printing at certain buildings can be easier said than done at Grand Valley State University. Not to mention that you aren't allowed to print past 500 pages a semester so be careful what you print.


5. Food:

Rotate your on-campus food choices. It can get repetitive really quickly.


6. Textbooks:

They are expensive as hell, but at least GVSU has the price comparison feature. Most schools' bookstores aren’t cheap either but at least Grand Valley State University doesn’t hide which places give you a better deal.

7. Printing:

Yes, this deserves another spot. Chances are you hit a good day if the printer isn’t down somewhere. Don’t try fixing it yourself either. It WILLget pissed at you.


8. Parking:

Parking is incredibly expensive due to lack of it at Grand Valley State University. Don’t be that guy who thinks they can get away with parking in the handicap spot in the landing zone under fuel. Guess what? You can’t.

9. Buses:

If you aren’t even slightly buzzed and you’re on a bus during the weekend, you are in for a world of obnoxious annoyance due to all the party-ers. Skip the trip and phone a friend. It isn’t worth it.

10. If you go under the blue bridge structure you aren’t going to have bad luck.

You will get weird stares from people who believe in the superstition though. Yes it is annoying having to deal with societal norms but don’t be the odd one out in this situation at Grand Valley State University.

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.
