It's April. Not only does that mean it's going to continue raining to bring those May flowers, but that also means it's time to kick into action to save those final grades. The end of the semester is approaching quickly, finals are right around the corner, and it's about this time where all those thoughts start popping into your head.

That's right, those end of the semester thoughts like:

1. How did this semester go by so fast!?

2. I'm not even doing that bad - oh no

3. It's so nice out! I'll just skip today and enjoy the spring weather

4. *Looking over notes* Did I even learn any of this?

5. Why didn't I read?

6. Is this... cumulative?

7. What's the minimum grade I need to pass this class?

8. I only need to get a 98.8%! I can do that!

10. I'm so screwed...

11. How did I make it this far?

12. Welp, C's get degrees!

13. Is it too late to drop?

14. I'll just take the W

15. Maybe I can ask for extra credit

16. Why didn't I start studying earlier?

17. Soon I'll be able to sleep

18. Until then, another all-nighter

19. So I can totally make this D- an A, right?

20. Oh God. I'm running low on meal swipes! Someone swipe me?

21. I have like $100 in my bank account still. *Checks* Oh. Oh no

22. Can I make it to the end of the semester without doing laundry again?

23. Hmm... I should have gone to this class more than three times

24. Why did I even take this class!?

25. So you're telling me... that I have an 8 a.m. final?

26. Write a 10-15 page paper? 10 it is!

27. Guess I'm living in the library for the next two weeks

28. Is it too late to switch my major?

29. Welp. I guess I'm taking a summer class this year!

30. Next semester, I'll do better. New school year, new me.

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.
