Spring semester is nobody's favorite. You're just waiting for Summer--for a chance to be with all your old friends. You want to go home and relax, not worry about grades or homework or other responsibilities. Here things that define your Spring semester:

1. You’re so close to being done with school, you physically have the hardest time going from week to week without losing your mind.

2. You’ve convinced yourself you’re doing so good in school that you forget you must do the assigned work.

3. The time change makes you think you still have time before that assignment is due until you look at the clock and it says seven, then you look outside and the sun says it’s four.

4. You have the hardest time focusing on studying or anything else you should be doing.

5. You don’t even have energy to take a nap. That says a lot because the majority of your life used to be naps.

6. Somehow a noon class feels like an eight-a.m. class and you don’t understand how those who actually take an eight o’clock class do it. You can barely get up for a noon class.

7. You know next year is going to be better but you aren’t there yet. You still have a little over a month to go.

8. You’re tired of doing the same thing that your days just seem to run together, and your weekends barely even exist.

9. Skipping days of class, not a class here or there but days, sounds so appealing, but you also don’t want to flunk out of college, so you should go.

10. You have a calendar that marks down the weeks until you finally get that summer break.

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.
