10 Thoughts Every College Student Has Before Returning To Campus
UGA Alumni Association

As the clock ticks down to the first class of the semester, college students' are facing these annoying thoughts that keep nagging at them.

I'm just saying, I wish we could be like Phil of The Future and only go to school for like two minutes a day.

1. I hope I don't have to get too many textbooks

My spine and wallet still haven't recovered from last semester. Dear Great Textbook Genie, please don't let me have more than like two books.

2. I hope my professors are nice

There are some rude professors out there. You know the kind that just seems to hate everyone and everything. Probably because they are old and your youthful face makes them remember their own mortality.

3. I hope I can make it to all my classes in time

When you think you have the perfect schedule and then you realize you have to make it all the way across campus in 15 minutes.

4. I hope I can balance life and school

I don't want to be a hermit this year! I want to go out and live life, but if my classes take up too much of time I'm SOL.

5. Where the eff are my classes?

WHEN DID WE GET THIS BUILDING? WHAT PART OF CAMPUS ARE YOU EVEN ON? FIGHT ME GOOGLE MAPS!

6. I hope I have at least one interesting class

Boring classes make for a miserable semester.

7. How many sleepless nights will I have this time?

I like to think that I will finally conquer my constant procrastination but it hasn't happened in like the 14 years I have been in school so I'm not getting my hopes up.

8. Why am I anxious to get started?

Like I want my syllabus and everything now so I can get a head start. If I have to wait till the start of class like everyone else, I am gonna be so far behind.

9. I am dreading icebreakers

"Please stand up and say your name, major, and one interesting fact about yourself." My name is Addie, I am a Political Science/English major, and my interesting fact is that I hate this game.

10. Where did the time go?

I feel like I blinked and summer passed me by. I hate everything.

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?
