In This Article:

I drove home from school for the first time by myself. Five hours in a car with just me, my music, and a steady drizzle of rain for the first three hours of the drive. If you talked to me recently then you'd know that I was very nervous about making the drive. It ended up being no big deal and a very easy drive. During my drive the only thing to do was sing and think. I did a lot of thinking. Here is a list of some of the most common thoughts I had on my drive.

1. How many more miles on this road?

2. Didn't I have 3 hours to go 30 minutes ago?

3. Should I stop for gas now or later?

4. I'm hungry but I don't want McDonald's

5. Maybe I should just eat when I get home

6. I should've stopped for food but now it's too late

7. Why is this car going 65 in the leftmost lane?

8. Ugh I hate being stuck behind this truck

9. This is such a great song

10. I'm cold

11. I'm hot

12. I'm cold again

13. This song sucks why did I put it on my playlist?

14. When is my turn again?

15. This traffic is the absolute worst

16. Why am I in stand still traffic?

17. Go faster!

18. I have to go to the bathroom

19. You know this actually isn't so bad

20. Just kidding this is the absolute worst

21. The last hour is the worse than the first four combined

22. I'm finally home

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.
