THE END IS HERE.

Not the end of the world... Its the end of Christmas Break. Which, for some is the end of the world. After a month out of school, we have to drag ourselves out of our warm beds, go into the freezing weather that some call the Tundra. You know who you are.

10) Saying goodbye to home cook meals.

Ah yes, the good food that doesn't come from the mysterious cafeteria and it actually comes from our lovely parents, which is delicious and how can we handle not having it anymore? See, here's the thing about a good home cook meal. You know what ingredients go into it: the five food groups along with love and caring. The ones where your stomach is happy, and so glad that you're not eating terrible food for a month. Lets just sit, reminisce on how much we're going to be missing that once we're back in our dorm rooms and home away from home.

9) Not seeing your family everyday.

Okay, this is basically like a Catch 22. On one hand, no more force talking about politics or any insane questions like 'has your love life changed?' No, it hasn't but thank you for reminding me that I'm single. On the other hand, you're going to miss those magic memories that makes you miss them and go back to up above, food. Also, them spoiling you? It's going to be a hard five-months. Also, saying goodbye to them and knowing that they're waiting for you back home? Even harder.

8) Not sleeping in.

We all know that everyone started to sleep in right after their last final. This place is a safe place, we can admit that we're going to miss sleeping in until noon or at least four in the afternoon. All warm in our beds, not wanting to leave them and just wanting to enjoy the cold weather by looking out at it.

8) No more Netflix-Binging.

....Who am I kidding? That's still going to be around by midterms, at least. There's always Spring Break too!

7) No more movie premieres.

See above. Nuff Said.

6) Bikini Season.

Why do we need to worry about our summer bodies during the winter? Granted, yes. We do want to get healthier, but come on. Do we really need to worry about our summer bodies right now?? When Valentine's Day is right around the corner and we're still snacking on Christmas candy? We can worry about that after Valentine's Day.

5) The Homework pile.

You know about this pile, you're aware of this pile, but do you really want to not do it and not graduate?

4) Telling everyone what you did over the break.

You get to hear amazing stories about your friends' breaks and be jealous of them, but when they ask you about yours, you don't want to admit that you didn't really see anyone over Christmas Break. Let's face it, we have to be social for five months, do we really want to be social over break?

3) Introducing yourselves to the class.

Okay, we know everyone. Especially if you're an English Major. You get to see everyone, each semester. Do we really need to introduce ourselves to the class? However, if we must say something interesting about ourselves, then I guess we will.

2) Trying to find time to hang out with friends.

Once the semester picks up, a lot of people lose contact with each other and just become this ghost whom most people talk or even hardly see. Also, making time for them. Its harder than most people think.

1) The Cold.

You should've known what number one was by the introduction. Shame, but that's okay! We have to go back into the coldest winters so far. Especially when it keeps snowing, snowing and snowing. We have to layer up, just to walk from one building to the next.

So like our fallen Princess once said.

This semester.

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.
