A List Of The Weirdest Things I've Done In College

It was the best of times, it was the weirdest of times.

A List Of The Weirdest Things I've Done In College

College is a great time for learning and finding out who you are. Many people use their four years in school to become active in organizations and clubs. Some just have a good time. I like to believe I'm healthy medium between all these. Before you go to school, you read articles telling you about how to love living with a roommate or spice up ramen. But no one talks about the weird stuff that happens to you once you and your peers find all this new found freedom.

1. Sat on a King size bed and ate Jell-O shots until I blacked out. What was the occasion? Death of a Bachelor was released.

2. Woke up in a bedroom that had a machete stuck in the wall.

3. Kept Halloween decorations up the entire time I lived in a house.

4. Made "sangria" that actually was just 7 bottles of $3 wine poured together in a pitcher with fruit. And then we proceeded to drink it out of the empty wine bottles instead of glasses. This then became our house drink.

5. Drove an hour and a half to the neighboring state with my best friend just to find an ice skating rink.

6. Drove thirteen hours with some of my sorority sisters to Iowa to see Bernie Sanders. We planned the whole trip in a matter of 5-6 hours.

7. On the Iowa trip, I got a selfie with Ezra Koenig, the lead singer of Vampire Weekend.

8. In order to chase out the party straggler's in my house, I played Rebecca Black's song Friday through the speakers.

9. The waiters at Applebee's add us on snapchat and expect us at the same time every week.

10. Bought a gecko as a pet because an upperclassmen had one, and I wanted to be cool.

11. The cafeteria's hot water went out so they served all the food on Styrofoam plates.

12. Went to the Amtrak station in a neighboring town, told people I was hopping on a train to Rhode Island.

We also stole a saw horse on the trip for no reason. Then proceeded to tell people that we brought a horse back from Rhode Island.

13. Took ski lessons as a college credit. And then twisted my knee and had to be dragged down the mountain in a tarp by ski patrol.

14. Swam in a truck pool. On multiple occasions.

15. Stole fancy cheese from Wal-Mart because I didn't want to pay $8 for gouda, but I wanted the wine & cheese party to be a success.

16. Made people shots of bottom shelf vodka and hot sauce.

When I took the shot, I ended up throwing up blood.

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.

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.
