5 Reasons Going To A Big School Is The Best

Going to a big school was undeniably one of the best decisions I have ever made. These are the top 5 reasons as to why it's so awesome:

1. The School Spirit

Everyone who goes to that school is most likely low-key obsessed with it and will defend it until the day they die.

2. There are so many clubs to get involved in

There are so many different clubs for you to join it's kind of overwhelming at first. I swear there is a club for everyone and everything at a big school. If you can't find one that you like, chances are someone will join you to create one.

3. If you don't want to see someone you don't have to

The campus is so big that the chances of you seeing that specific person are slim to none. If you do see them, just take a different route to class because there are too many to choose from.

4. Sports

Because who doesn't love a good football game with your friends?

5. You can always make a big school smaller

At first, a big campus seems super scary. I promise you after the first week you will know every inch of the campus. You can always join clubs or greek life to create a smaller group of friends which makes the school feel smaller. If you need a change of scenery, branch out to something else! You can make the campus as big or small as you want!

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.
