It's here! IT'S FINALS WEEK SPRING 2016!

Here are some completely okay things for you to do this week. Remember sometimes it's about making the grade instead of making it to the shower.

1. Not showering.

It's totally okay to go three, four or five days without taking a shower. I mean yeah you'll probably smell weird, but no one is going to be paying attention to your funk during a final. I mean just spray yourself with Febreeze.

2. Sleeping in random places.

If you are embarrassed to sleep in random places then buy a cot and sleep in a study carrel, otherwise, there are chairs everywhere. Hammocks, your car, a chair, an empty classroom... it's okay just make sure you get some rest.

3. Not matching.

So what you have two different tennis shoes on? So what your outfit doesn't look right?!

4. Drinking excessive amounts of coffee.

I mean you might die of cardiac arrest but oh well you were trying your best.

5. Being rude, sassy, and generally not enjoying other people.

Stress levels are at an all-time high right now, so if someone gives you attitude just let it go.

6. Not brushing your teeth.

Okay this kind of grosses me out, but if you do this just please keep your mouth closed or full with a stick of mint gum.

7. Running across campus to your final.

Yeah sprinting, running or crying on your way to your final is fine. No one is judging you, we are all freaking out too.

8. Crying, a lot.

I saw three people last semester within five minutes come out of the same final crying their eyes out. I signed up to take that class this summer.

9. Being messy.

Focus on studying, not organizing everything to avoid studying.

10. Not exercising.

Actually, if you take a study break, I suggest exercising. If you are a gym rat though this might not be your best week.

11. Not sleeping.

Sleep is for the weak! Some people can actually pull all-nighters, you should know by now what works for you.

12. Forgetting everything.

Stress does this to you, you will forget something as simple as a pencil. Calm down and ask a friend or your school's library for whatever you may need.

13. Forgetting to eat for a whole day and then stuffing your face at night.

DO THIS! Eat some food. Your body needs sugar, it needs to be able to provide you with energy for studying and running frantically to your final exams. Eat foods that are good for you this week. Stay hydrated and please do not die from drinking four Monsters in one day.

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?
