Starting a new job is tough.

Thoughts You Have On Your First Day Of Work
Colum

It's the beginning of summer. For many young college students like yourself, this means baseball games, road trips, new jobs and summer internships. With a heart full of excitement and a mind full of anxiety, here are 35 actual thoughts I had on my first day.

OK, here we go, what to wear.

I want to look like I’m an adult and professional.

Dress pants and a button down. This seems good.

Is this trying too hard?

Probably, but I don’t have time to change now.

OK, let’s try not to get lost.

Which train is the right train?!

Somebody help!

Should I use this emergency button…?

“Hi…I don’t know where I’m going.”

OK, I’m at the address… where is the building?

*Walks around in a circle using Google maps*

Phew, found it.

And I have 10 minutes to spare.

OK, let’s do this.

*Opens the door*

OK, be cool, be cool.

And I just made a fool of myself looking for the trash can.

Boss seems chill. And there’s a puppy.

Supervisor seems cool.

She wants me to do what?

I’ve never done that before.

It’s OK, you’ll learn. That’s the point.

I can do this. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Wait, there’s only one thing I need to fix?

OK, next task.

*Four hours later*

WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK

They see me, do their der der der der der der...

I think this is how I’m supposed to do this….but I’m a little afraid to ask.

OK... let’s see...

Right. Thank you, Jesus.

OK, I’m getting the hang of this.

Check me out!

Time to head home feeling like a champ!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
