20 Thoughts You Have While Packing For College
Huffington Post

College is just around the corner. Most of you have probably already gone, but if you’re a late leaver like me, the realization of how much you still have to do in the next two days is hitting you like a ton of bricks. Although you’ve probably asked yourself (and your mother) 500 questions already, here are some of the top twenty statements college students probably say while packing the day before they leave.

1. How is all of this going to fit in the car?

2. Do I really have to bring all of this cleaning supplies?

3. No mom, fifteen T-shirts is not enough for an entire semester.

4. Yes, I know there is a washing machine.

5. What if I decide to dress up for class?

6. Is this can opener really necessary?

7. Am I really going to want to eat all these healthy snacks I bought yesterday?

8. Do I have enough command strips to hang all of this?

9. What if they lose my stuff when they carry it up?

10. Will I have enough room for all of this in my dorm?

11. Six dresses ought to be enough, right?

12. I’m definitely going to need all four of these makeup palettes.

13. You can never take too many athletic shorts, right?

14. Do I really have room for these giant rain boots?

15. What if it gets cold before I come home for fall break?

16. Did I pack my toothbrush already?

17. Why did I pack so much makeup?

18. This is never going to fit in the car or in my room

19. I think I’m forgetting everything.

20. There’s a Target close to campus, right?

Welcome to college kids, there’s nothing more fun than trying to shove your whole life into one car while saying goodbye to everyone around you. Enjoy.

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.
