"You can never be overdressed or over educated."

The first part of this quote may not be true (you may get a few strange looks while wearing a cocktail dress in the testing centers) but you really can't be over educated. STUDY.

"Do what makes you happy and be done with all the rest."

Just think of all the things you will have the freedom to do over winter break when you're done with your finals! You can actually sleep!

"Better to be the one who smiled than the one who didn't smile back."

Remember to be nice, this week. It's everyone's finals week, we really are all in this together.

"You did not wake up today to be mediocre."

And you sure as hell did not wake up today to fail your exams.

"Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do."

Oprah Winfrey was the one to share this little nugget of knowledge and she is spot on. (Again, think of all the sleeping you'll be able to do after this week!!)

"You're allowed to scream. You're allowed to cry. Just don't give up."

Also, just don't do this in a public place.

"Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start thinking about what could go right."

Like you could pass this exam or the professorcould bump your C up to an A or the world could end right before your exam. I mean it could happen, right?

"Be gentle with yourself. You're doing the best you can."

Unless you didn't study. Then you got yourself into this mess.

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently."

Just think, if you fail and have to retake this class, you'll already know all the answers for the next time around! #positivity

"Wake up. Drink coffee. Kick ass. Repeat."

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?

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.
