13 Mid-Semester Thoughts

We're 9 weeks in and each and every student is about to lose their cool. Whether you're being bombarded by term papers, that you waited until the last second to do, or preparing to take test after test, you probably hate this point in the semester just as much as I do. Here are 13 thoughts that you can probably relate to, all too well.

Bless your heart.


  1. This semester is never going to end…
  2. Why do professors think all of their papers should be due on the same day?
  3. I wish I didn’t complain about my high school workload. I didn't know what the real struggle felt like.
  4. Look at all these freshman still excited about life. They haven’t started hating their majors yet.
  5. I can’t drop my major now...I’m in too deep and I’m not good at anything else.
  6. Is it too late to drop a class?
  7. Will law schools really hate me if I have a couple of “W”’s on my transcript?
  8. Why is the boy in my 11am stealing my seat? It’s the 9th week of class for God’s sake.
  9. Who thought it was a good idea to go to college? I could’ve been one of those traveling, YouTube stars that make money off of page views.
  10. Do they make money off of page views? How do they really make money? Is it too late to start?
  11. If Trump doesn’t need any real field experience, neither do I.
  12. How many more skip days do I have left?
  13. Buckle down. Focus. GET THIS DEGREE.

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.
