It's over before you know it. Suddenly the four (or five, or six....no shame) years you spent as a college student are coming to an end. Why not go out with a bang and live up your last couple of months/years? Here's a list of things you should do before going into the real world of actually missing 8 a.m. classes that you didn't have to dress up for, mid-day naps and hanging out with your best friends whenever you want.

1. Spring Break with your best friends

2. Swim in your campus fountain

3. DAB with your professor

4. Two states at once

5. Go on a weekend road trip

6. Attend one of each sporting event

7. Have a sleepover with your best friends

8. Quad talk

9. Eat like you never gained the freshman 15

10. Enjoy your last couple of weeks without stressing #C'sGetDegrees

11. Take a picture with the mascot

12. Go to that social even if you're stressing about something because you are only in college once.

13. Go on random adventures

14. Take pictures on majestic walls

15. Eat a whole pizza in one sitting

16. Have a nice crying session with your best friends

17. Also a nice drinking session

18. Live up mid-day naps while you can

19. Pull an all nighter

20. Graduate, but first, let me take a selfie

Pics or it didn't happen, right?

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.

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.
