You Must Be Crazy If You Want To Be A Belle

It's true, it takes a special women in order to be a Belle and if that means being crazy I wouldn't want to be anything else.

You Must Be Crazy If You Want To Be A Belle
Kelsey Trimble

Why would you ever want to go to that small school across the street from the amazing University of Notre Dame? It must be annoying to only have to be a part of the large school feel when you want and have a safe haven of a castle to go to when you just want the small feel.

And don't you want to feel the pressure to actually have to look put together every time you leave your dorm? I'm sure going to class and the dining hall in pajamas is a total drag! And come on... ALL GIRLS! You have to be absolutely crazy to want to live with all of your best friends having so much fun every night, one big sorority.

What kind of college student would ever want to be in a class with less than 90 or more students and a professor that actually cares if you don't show up to class? It has to be annoying to have a teacher reach out if they notice you were upset during class, right? Or email you after you play a good game for your team. Who would ever want the feeling of having a family away from home - that's all way to personal.

That French cross is everywhere you look, why would you want such a symbolic thing all over your clothes and signs reminding you of where you are and the Sisters that worked hard to make it so you could be there?

And last, but most certainly not least...that class ring. You have to be so annoyed when you go out in public and have so many grads come up and talk to you about the amazing time they had at Saint Mary's and how they wish they could go back.

Knowing that there are Belles always there to help you must be the worst feeling to have.

The truth is you do have to be crazy to be a Belle, but I love being crazy and so should everyone else.

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.
