It's the time of year where people begin to focus on what they are thankful for and what matters most. For some this consists of family, friends, and the jobs that help afford the roof over their head and puts the food on the table. This list however, focuses on the things that college students are most thankful for which is different than the majorities list on so many levels.

1. Free Food

It could be food, puppies... literally anything

2. Nice dog-owners that let you pet their dog

Instant stress reliever, also the best feeling ever

3. Extended Due Dates

I mean as long as I can procrastinate longer... back to watching Netflix it is

4. Canceled Class

Canceled Class = more time for sleeping

5. Home Cooked Meals

After eating microwaveable food for months on end...

6. Finding money in your pants pocket or car that you didn't know you had.

The greatest surprise of all.

7. Extra Nap Time

Because your bed is the safest place you'll ever be.

8. Extra Netflix Viewing Time

Thank you Netflix, for being there when my one friend is busy.

9. Alarm Clocks

Let's face it, you'd sleep all day if it wasn't for these ear-piercing noise makers

10. Grade Curves

Saving GPA's since the beginning of time

11. Student Discounts

It's basically free, right?

12. Food Delivery

You don't even have to leave the comfort/warmth of your own home...

13. Headphones

Headphones in = don't bother me

14. Care Packages From Parents

Almost better than Christmas.

15. Data Renewal Day

Once again... Christmas comes more than once.

16. Professors Who Don't Take Attendance

Even though it's great, its a challenge...

17. Holiday Breaks

No worries... just family

18. Coming Home To Your Own Bed

No better feeling than this.

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.

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?
