11 Thoughts You Have Leading Up To Spring Break

1. You did it. You booked your trip. Time to party!

You did an adult thing that is also a fun thing. You can't wait to go away for a few days to de-stress from college life!

2. The countdown begins!

"Only 50 days left. 40. 35..."

3. The thought of escaping the frozen tundra of your college campus is the most appealing thing about the trip.

"I bet there isn't any snow at *insert destination here*"

4. You constantly check your weather app to see how much warmer your spring break spot is than here (FYI it's way warmer).

"It's 72 degrees at the beach right now and i'm here listening (read: sleeping) in the same class as every week."

5. You start daydreaming of the ocean in class.

"I think I can hear the waves crashing and the seagulls chirping."

6. The closer it gets the more you can't help but talk about it.

"So did I tell you where i'm going for spring break? Oh, really? Like four times? I'm gonna say it again so you can remember and be jealous."

7. You pack your bag days in advance with things you very obviously won't need.

"Of course i'm gonna need this sundress that I haven't worn since 2010 that is not appropriate for any social gathering ever."

8. Yet you have a constant worry that you forgot to pack something.

"I went through my list and my bag like 10 times. There is no way I forgot anything, so what's nagging me?!"

9. You scrounge and save up every dollar so you are covered.

"Okay so I found $1.06 in change in my car, that can buy us lunch at the beach right?"


10. You realize you have a 8+ hour drive ahead of you (cause you're too broke to afford a plane).

"I gotta map out places for bathroom breaks and food. Leg stretches too."

11. Spring break is finally here! Go out and enjoy (FYI: The thing you forgot to pack is your sunglasses).

"Yes! The beach, the waves, the sand, the sun! Where are my sunglasses...?"

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.
