10 Things You Hear When You Come Home From College

It's the most wonderful time of the year...just not for answering a ridiculous amount of questions.

These are 10 things you hear when you come home from break:

1. "How is school?"

Such a loaded question, and there is not really enough words to explain it all.

2. "What have you learned?"

Other than learning that everyone is now suddenly an activist and that despite what your professors may think, you really can finish an assignment in one night, classes have taught me a few things.

3. "What are you majoring in again?"

Being undecided with people constantly asking about your major isn't always the most comfortable situation.

4. "How are those grades looking?"

Your grades are almost always the first topic of discussion.

5. "You need to help clean up this house."

Even though you haven't been home in months, somehow you're still expected to help clean up.

6. "Are you making friends?"

You may only have one, but at least that's better than none!

7. "Are you happy to be home?"

It's always a shock switching back into reality when you get home from school.


8. "We see you aren't missing any meals."

Some people never fail to remind you that the freshman 15 is very real, as if you already didn't know that yourself.

9. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

No grandma, for the 13th time, I don't have a boyfriend.

10. "Wait, are you new here?"

Going back to your old job over the break and all the new employees think you're new, too.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
