The most stressful time of the year is here. You're done with classes now you just have to make it through finals. Time to start cramming everything you've learned this past semester. But how, as if that's even possible? Just remember that summer's almost here, you can do it!

1. "When did we learn this?"


You may have missed that class and forgot to get the notes or weren't paying attention when they were going over it. You better get them soon because chances are they will be in your final somewhere!

2. "Why couldn't they schedule our final earlier?"


No one likes having the last finals but sometimes it happens, trust me it's happened to me so many times. There's nothing that can be done about that. It's not the professor's fault, but rather the way the school schedules it. Just have patience and keep studying.

3. "How will I remember all of this by the exam?"


With so much information there's no way you will remember it all. But if you study some material at a time rather than all at once, it's likely that the material will stick.

4. "Why did I choose this major?"


I know it's hard now but just think in a few years time you'll be doing what you love and all that hard work would have paid off.

5. "Why didn't I drop this class when I had the chance?"


Probably because you need it for your major or you thought it would get easier as the semester progressed. You've made it to the end it's too late to be questioning this now.

6. "I wish I could've done better on the other exams!"

It's the end of the semester and somehow you have to pull off an A to pass the class. Now you have to work ten times harder to pull it off.

7. "When will this be over?"


Classes are over but now you have to get through finals and yet you can't seem to find the end. You will get through this! Stay hydrated, keep studying, get sleep and make sure to eat. We all get stressed but just remember you've got this!

8. "Why did they have to make it cumulative?"


It's the worst but it happens and there's nothing we can do but start studying early. Usually you find out about your final exam in the beginning of the semester that's when you should study a little bit a day or when you have time. It's okay we'll get through this!

9. "My head hurts!"


We all feel like this at some point while studying, maybe it's time to take a break then.

10. "Can it be summer already!"


Honestly summer can't come fast enough; we've worked so hard this past semester we need this 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.
