On the outside I look calm, cool, and collected. On the inside I'm a freaking mess.

7 Thoughts On Entering Senior Year

As I enter into my senior year, many thoughts have crossed my mind. College is a crazy time. You meet new people, face academic challenges, and live life. The four years in college are supposed to be the best years of your life, so how can I even put into words what I'm feeling as I approach the end? I guess I'll have to try...

Time flies.

I can't believe how fast the past three years have gone. Like how am I a senior when it feels like just yesterday I moved into my freshman dorm? I'm in serious denial.

The real world is next.

You're telling me I have to find my own apartment and get a job? That stuff is for adults! Oh wait...

The pressure is on.

Even though classes haven't even started, many of us are already applying to jobs and grad school. So basically we're trying to plan the rest of our lives at the moment.

I need to squeeze a lifetime of fun into 8 months.

Take the stupid things we did as freshman, the academics of sophomore/junior year, the drinking of all three, and combine it into one. That will be my senior year.

I can't believe my friends and I will all be going our separate ways soon.

I've met my best friends in college. How can I possibly leave them after I've had such little time with them?! And we're not just talking other parts of the country here, we'll be facing distances across continents as we try to remain friends.

Job/grad school applications are coming.

So not only do we have to keep up our grades AND have the best year of our lives, we also have to add the stress of applying to jobs and schools, too!

Holy sh*t.

Seniors out!

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.
