As a graduating college senior, I can confidently say that I am ready to move on to the next chapter in my life - whatever that looks like. I will miss college friends and experiences, but I won't miss these 11 school-related items that took a hit on my bank account.

1. Textbooks

Not having to pay over $200/semester just for textbooks we probably won't even use really puts finances in perspective.

2. Rubbermaid Containers

@rubbermaid

You may still have these around your living space, but at least you don't have to cram all of your belongings in tubs under your dorm bed.

3. Cheap utensils

@meredithphoto

Gone are the days of disposable forks.

5. Thumb And Sticky Tack

The most stressful part of decorating a dorm room was finding things that both wouldn't wreck the walls and would keep things up.

5. Heavy duty backpacks

@thekawaiishoppu

The first semester, style wins over practicality. However, every semester after that proves that usefulness is the best way to go. Now you don't have to worry about purchasing an overpriced (but needed) backpack.

6. Bed Risers

@dandalydesign

Now you have the freedom to purchase any bed you want with whatever hight bed frame you choose.

7. Shower Caddies

@uni_shoponline

The freedom of having the space to spread your things out in the shower in unmatched.

8. Insane Amounts Of Stationary And Miscellaneous Supplies

@law.study.habits

No need for six binders and 12 highlighters anymore.

9. Shower Shoes

@lalotactical_mt

Feel free to finally go barefoot in the comfort of your own shower.

10. Rolling Storage Units

@harperandharlowph

Gone are the days where you store all your mugs and K-cups in a rolling metal bin.

11. Mini Fan

@rou_0107

You no longer have to live for that few seconds of cool air while working on homework.

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.
