10 Things To Look Forward To

Spring semester is always my favorite. Although there aren't as many holidays and breaks as fall semester there are 10 things that make me look forward to it each year.

1. The warmth is coming.

It may seem so far away and impossible but trust me, the warmth will be here before we know it.

2. You have a fresh start.

You don't have to stress about the classes that kept you up until 3 am last semester, they're over!

3. New semester, new people.

You never know who you will have classes with, who you will pass on your way to class, who will be in the dining halls when you are there. All of these fresh faces are opportunities for new friends.

4. You are one semester closer to graduating.

This one makes me a little nervous BUT sometimes I feel like my college career is never ending and my classes are driving me crazy. So this is a reminder that with each passing semester I am approaching adulthood. (YIKES)

5. Better weather, more things to do.

As the weather starts to clear up and get nicer people are more inclined to want to go outside and make the most of the day. You will see everyone out on the "green" or your campus common area, going for hikes, and being in all around better moods!

6. My birthday.

This probably doesn't concern any of you at all BUT I will be turning 20 this semester and entering a new decade of my life so this had to make the list.

7. You know what works and what doesn't.

You've had a semester or so to get down a routine that works for you and you also have found out what doesn't work. This semester you don't have to waste as much time trying to do so.

8. New goals.

You have hopefully set some new goals for yourself for 2017 that you can now put to the test.

9. New music, movies, and trends.

Not only is it a new semester, but it's a new year. This means there will be all new media moves, music, movies, trends, and everything in between.

10. You are still thriving.

Although you may not think so, making it to another semester of college is a blessing. You have your health, your education, and your sanity! Go make the most of it, some people don't get the chance to.

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.
