26 Things I Did Instead Of My Homework

Though it feels as if the semester has just only started, I have somehow already become buried in work and very behind. Every time a weekend comes up, I promise myself that I will finally get it together and catch up on everything so that the rest of the semester runs more smoothly. This weekend was another case of that. However, I have learned that this is almost always an empty promise to myself, and to prove it, here is a list of everything I did instead of study, on a Sunday night.

1. Finished watching Stranger Things on Netflix

2. Cleaned my room

3. Cleaned my entire apartment

4. Took a long shower

5. Cried about the drought

6. Called my mom

7. Annoyed my mom

8. Downloaded the entire discography of a band that I liked one song by

9. Went on wikipedia to learn everything about the band

10. Went on wikipedia to try and understand 2001: A Space Odyssey

11. Read multiple fan theories about the ending

12. Spent a while contemplating which one made the most sense

13. Spent a while getting angry at myself for letting it get this far

14. Vowed to make a change

15. Responded to some ~academic~ texts

16. Got distracted by Instagram

17. Ended up 142 weeks deep in a random girl's instagram

18. Got distracted by snapchat

19. Accidentally watched someone's story that I didn't want to

20. Got distracted by facebook

21. Threw my phone across the room because clearly I have no self control

22. Went to go make sure that I didn't damage my phone

23. Spent a while deciding what I wanted to listen to

24. Remembered that I downloaded the entire discography of that one band

25. Realized I only liked the one song I already had

26. Finally put on a good playlist and started to read

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.
