The best part about Winter and Christmas break when you're in college is coming home for a month. This break is better than high school because, unless you're taking a winter class, you probably have no homework and get to hang out (or work). Here are 10 thoughts you've probably had while home on break!

1. Will my summer job take me back for the month?

Going home for a month usually means you want to be busy and make money, but sometimes, finding a job for a month can be hard.

2. Am I going to have room for everything I am bringing back?

Going back after winter break is like moving in part 2. Somehow, you come back with double the stuff you left with.

3. Can I bring my pets back to school with me?

Is the "no pet" rule really a thing?

4. I miss my suitemates :(

Because they're the only people I can tolerate living with.

5. This isn't a frat basement?

*When the family party is actually lit*

6. How will I go back to eating dining hall food?

Two words: You. Can't.

7. This break isn't long enough!

*Prays for snow days so classes get canceled in the beginning*

8. I wonder what my school friends are doing.

Let's be real; they are Snapchatting "streaks" while still in bed at 12pm.

9. Can I take these left overs back to school?

*Looks up the capacity of a mini fridge and if it can support trays full of christmas leftovers*

10. There really is no place like home.

Yeah, school is great and all, but home is where family is and that is what makes it the best.

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.
