10 Thoughts College Students Are Having Right Now
BlauBlog

College students are settling back into the rigorous routine after their much-needed tropical excursions or Netflix binges and now it is crunch time. Although the weather is becoming warmer and there are people laughing in the quad, I know many of us college students are beginning to panic. There are so many questions running through our minds every day at 1000 miles per minute. Here are just a few:

1. What classes will I take in the fall semester?

With requirements galore and registration times being posted, I know myself and fellow college students feel the pressure piling on. There is nothing worse than sitting in front of your computer and watching the number of open seats in your required class drop lower and lower...

2. Where will I live next semester?

As I have heard, college Housing Assignments can be an absolute nightmare. On-campus or off-campus? Apartment or dormitory? Greek life? Commute? Something as simple as shelter becomes very complex to us college students.

3. Who will I live with next semester?

Potentially the most rewarding or detrimental aspect of college—who are you willing to get ready in the morning with no lights on for? Who are you willing to compromise most of your life habits for? Who can you trust your things with? Only time and trust shall tell.

4. What will I do this summer?

College offers the longest break from schoolwork that any of us have ever had—three months of pure, uninterrupted free time. Are you planning a vacation with your newfound besties or slumber parties with your long-lost high school BFFs?

5. Where will I work this summer?

With this beautiful "three months of pure, uninterrupted free time" comes the reality that you probably need money in order to survive the next year of college, so getting a job may come in handy. Or perhaps it is time for you to start looking into internships and polishing off that resume?

6. Only about two months left. Time flew by!

It feels like in the blink of an eye, we: applied to college, got accepted to college, chose a college and now the year is almost over.

7. How will I get through these last two months?


Or you potentially feel the exact opposite of thought number 6 and you have no clue how you are going to survive the next two months. (Probably with lots of Ben and Jerry's and Netflix episodes.)

8. How many episodes of Netflix can I watch tonight?

It is a constant debate in my mind every night whether or not to press "Next Episode" on Netflix.

9. How will I live without the self-serve ice cream machine?

It is the simple things in life that make college lovely, like the self-serve ice cream machine. It is exceptionally amazing when they have rainbow sprinkles.

10. Am I happy?

College is an optimal time for self-discovery and self-reflection. Be sure to take the time to think about whether or not you are happy with your current lifestyle. If you aren't, make a plan to change a few things. Happiness with oneself is key!

Even with all of these thoughts filling your mind, remember to love yourself each and every day. Do not allow yourself to be caught up. You will find the answers to all of these questions when the time is just right.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
