Winter Life On Campus

You have to wake up earlier than usual, leave your room earlier if you want to make it on time and not fall on your commute

The first snowfall

If you’re like me, you wait in anticipation for the first snow of the new school year. Here at Augie, it snowed late December 3, and into the early morning and afternoon. Waking up and seeing freshly fallen snow is the best and of course, taking pictures of how beautiful your campus is!

Walking to class

You have to wake up earlier than usual, leave your room earlier if you want to make it on time and not fall on your commute. Also, its freezing, and if you didn’t wear the proper clothing, your entire body is frozen.

Clothing

Break out those winter jackets, boots, hats, gloves, scarves, everything, because its about to get cold. Another thing that sucks is that winter clothing is more expensive than spring or summer clothing.

Getting out of bed

You make yourself so comfortable and warm, and when your alarm goes up, you don’t want to leave your blanket burrito. The struggles of waking up are so real in the winter.

Fire Alarms suck

Fire alarms suck in general, but if you have to evacuate, you better throw on some warm boots and wrap up in a blanket because who knows how long you’re going to be waiting.

All the seasonal drinks

If you have a coffee shop on campus or nearby, it’s finally time to indulge in all of your favorite holiday drinks like peppermint hot chocolate or white hot chocolate (my personal favorite)

The reminder that break is soon

With winter, we’re reminded that Christmas break is soon, and who doesn’t love break? Spending time with family and not worrying about classes for a while.

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.
