What I Will Miss Most About High School

Most seniors cannot wait to leave high school. I can say I was definitely one of them. I had a classic case of "senioritis," and kind of took for granted all of the wonderful things high school has to offer. Now less than three weeks out from moving into college, I am realizing how much I will truly miss high school. There are so many things that I will miss, so here is a few of them:

1. Dances

I absolutely loved going to prom and homecoming. There is nothing better than getting dressed up and spending the night dancing away with your friends. School dances have given me some of the best memories in my High School experience. I will definitely miss all of he wonderful things that school dances have to offer.

2. Other students/ Classmates

As weird as this seems I'm going to miss mostly everyone that I went to school with for one reason or another. Even though I went to a very small school I was not close with everybody, but I will miss getting to see people that I would see everyday or share a class with.

3. Teachers/ Staff

With a graduating class of 17, you become close with your teachers. It's so nice to have teachers that actually care about you especially when you do not understand something they are teaching in class. Its also nice to have a teacher that you can talk to about anything even if it has to do nothing to do with school. And my teachers were the BEST whether they gave encouraging words or fun conversations, I will definitely miss all of my teachers I had throughout high school.

4. Normalcy

I think this is probably the biggest thing that I will miss about high school. Seeing all of the people I went to high school with start summer practices, sports pictures, and plan things for the school year is just so weird when you are not apart of it anymore. It is almost sad to think that I will never get to experience that again. On the flip side, it is exciting because I am going to be starting a new chapter of my life. In a few weeks I will have to find a new sense of normalcy and moved forward with exciting new life.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
