No one wants to get up early and attend an 8:30 a.m. class. You’re tired, hungry, and just wanna be in bed a little bit longer cause you know you’ll be up for the rest of the day in classes. It’s a fate that no wants as a college student, but sometimes we have to accept it and push through the pain of going to this early morning class. But since we are so tired, our thoughts like to let loose and make us talk in our minds for a majority of the class time.

Here are some thoughts that we might experience:

1. It’s only 6? Time for a little more sleep.

2. It’s only 7? Time for a little more sleep.

3. It’s only 7:30? I could sleep for a few more minutes and I’ll be okay.

4. Why do alarms always ruin the best dreams?

5. No time for breakfast again!

6. Why did I want to take this class?! Was it for my major? Was it even a required class? Did my counselor set me up?

7. This school always smells so clean in the morning. Probably no one has come in here yet.

8. That student is literally smiling. Calm down, it’s not even 10:00 yet.

9. She said ‘good morning’ to me. Why talk to me? Why me? There are other people in this classroom right now.

10. Now she’s having a conversation with me. I have no idea what she is talking about.

11. She mentioned food! Now I’m craving food. Just my luck.

12. A teacher that is excited at this time of the day, I do not trust in the slightest.

13. Did I do the homework? I think I did...at like midnight, maybe.

14. A lecture again? Why can’t we watch a movie or just do our own work? Or let us go home so I can sleep?

15. Why is the teacher so passionate about this at 8:30 IN THE MORNING?! I get it. I’m passionate about things too, but not this early.

16. Oh! Got a text!

17. Everyone is taking notes. I should probably do that too.

18. Whoa, whoa! Slow down! Geez I can’t write as fast as you can talk.

19. That girl keeps asking questions and talking! Just stop it so that we can this over with.

20. I swear if you raise your hand again I’m gonna to...

21. I hope that no one heard that growl from my stomach.

22. Somebody looked at me! They know it was me! I feel so exposed.

23. Why did I decide to take this class?

24. It’s been only 30 minutes and we’re not even half way done with this powerpoint?!

25. I think my hand is going numb. If my hand falls off, does that mean I don’t have to pay student loans?

26. That girl keeps talking! Is this why you sat in the front? Go home.

27. We’re done?! Oh thank the— Oh, of course, there’s ANOTHER PowerPoint!

28. Stop growling, stomach! I know you’re hungry! You’re part of my body, so I know I’m starving without you reminding me of it!

29. It’s over?! It’s over! Yes!! Finally!

30. Nope! No one has any questions! Let’s get up and...

31. Why?! Why do you talk so much!! No one should like school as much as you do!

32. Can we go? Is she done talking?

33. We’re done? Finally! My favorite time of the day... leaving that class!

Take my advice: an 8:30 a.m. class should be the last class you take. If it’s mandatory, I’m sorry for you. If it’s not, then avoid it at all costs.

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?
