11 Reasons Why Sundays Are Miserable For College Students

If you've ever said "Sundays are so relaxing!" you're lying to yourself.

11 Reasons Why Sundays  Are Miserable For College Students

Everyone knows, Sunday can be a pretty stressful day, especially for a college student. No matter if you had a crazy weekend or just watched Netflix the whole time, when Sunday rolls around, it’s always a huge surprise and wake up call. Now, you must get prepared to face Monday, the actual worst day of the week. High-schoolers, middle-schoolers, and parents seemingly have an easier Sunday than college students because they can spend it relaxing, perhaps doing a minimal amount of homework assignments, and going to church. On the contrary, we must spend our Sundays cramped inside studying and maybe a few other productive activities if we’re lucky. While this article is written from the perspective of a really exhausted student on a Sunday, keep in mind some of my favorite things happen on Sundays too (mainly new Game of Thrones episodes).

Here are 11 things that you’ve probably experienced if you’ve ever woken up on a Sunday after a long weekend:

1. Waking up just in time for Chick-fil-A bfast, driving all the way there and only then remembering that today is Sunday

2. Or that one Sunday when you don’t wake up until 3 and you’ve got a test tomorrow and pit breakfast is closed.

3. Laundry! Especially if you still live on campus and literally everyone does their laundry on Sundays.

4. Watching all the church snaps and then remembering that you have that test tomorrow. If you didn’t take a selfie does going to church even matter?

5. Trying so hard to finish all your homework before 9 so you can watch Game Of Thrones on time but never coming even close and you accidentally check out fb and the whole episode is ruined.

6. Deleting all your texts from last night “haha sorry my friend had my phone”

7. All the mom and dad missed calls. There needs to be an automated response message: “I’m in the library, I can’t talk!”

8. Making eye contact across the lib with that one person that you had a three hour conversation with last night. A closed mouth smile and quick look away will suffice.

9. Checking all the emails from your professors that you’ve ignored since Friday right after class

10. All the “how was your weekend” questioning that you really don’t have the time to answer so you tell them every detail and then apologize because you have so much work and can’t talk anymore

11. Finally deciding to take off that eyeliner 3 days later and realizing you're blind now.

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.
