Worst part of being snowed in

Most people love snow days. However, being snowed in at a friend's house is one of the worst things. There are a couple phases you go through before deciding this is the worst situation to be in.

In the beginning, you think it's going to be fun. You get to hang out with your friend for a night. You guys can watch movies and make snacks. The first few hours are fun and you're excited. Then comes the next phase.

After the first few hours, you begin to want to yell at the weather. Like why does it have to snow right now? You kinda want to go lay in your own bed and eat your own food. It is now only the weather fault for you being here and not yours for driving out to your friend's in the first place.

As the night progresses, you began to get annoyed because you realize you don't have anything you need. You don't have enough clothes to last, or a toothbrush or deodorant or really anything you would have packed. So now you have to realizes you must spend the whole night and next morning with bad breath and B.O.

Slowly you get to the point where you can't stand dealing with your friend's family. After a certain point you can only smile politely and sit awkwardly for so long. You want to sit in the quiet of your own place instead of socializing with people you don't really know.

Then the last phase you get to is when you regret every event that led you to this situation. You knew you shouldn't have left your house. You miss your pet and bed. You have become a whole new level of grouchy than ever before. If you plan on traveling this winter be prepared in case of snow storm.

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?
