It's that time of the semester again. The one that we've been dreading since the beginning --midterms. Many students are just cracking open their books for the first time since buying the textbooks. Now, they're cramming seven weeks worth of information into a long weekend study session. No one likes to study, especially for an entire weekend. Here are 40 things I'd rather do than study for midterms:

1. Let my 5-year-old nephew do my make up.

2. Blindfold my best friend and let her cut my hair.

3. Throw my phone off the balcony of my dorm on the 17th floor.

4. Only watch the saddest episodes of every show.

5. Cover my hand in paper cuts.

6. Pour a whole bottle of Purell on my freshly cut hands.

7. Eat dinner with Donald Trump.

8. Get locked in a room with my ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend.

9. Only wake up at 5 a.m. for the rest of the year.

10. Only take 8 a.m. classes for the rest of my college career.

11. Re-organize a Forever 21 store.

12. Break my foot, again.

13. Lose my glasses.

14. Have a giant van drive through a puddle and cover me in dirty street water.

15. Tweeze off my leg hair instead of shaving.

16. Pour boiling hot water on my legs.

17. Have all of my Tinder conversations published on my social media and not be able to erase them.

18. Wear Crocs.

19. Ride the subway for 24 hours straight with a performer in the car.

20. Shave off one of my eyebrows.

21. Be stuck in the car with my dad giving me life lectures for 10 hours.

22. Only get instructions in Russian for the rest of my life.

23. Never be able to use Netflix, again. (Okay that one might be a lie)

24. Dye my hair booger green.

25. Marry Dwight from "The Office."

26. Only be able to speak in Pig Latin.

27. Move in with Jason Voorhees.

28. Do a juice cleanse every other week.

29. Lick a frat house bathroom.

30. Drop my phone on my face every time I use it in bed.

31. Have my nose ring get stuck on my pillowcase every night.

32. Only be able to post the most embarrassing pictures of myself on social media.

33. Have to go re-live my high school years.

34. Use my awkward middle school picture for my professional website.

35. Only eat the purple Skittles.

36. Have Dr. Seuss write all my essays.

37. Always show up an hour late to everything.

38. Get introduced to a guy's parents on the first date.

39. Have the world's slowest Internet.

40. Have Dr. Dre as my dentist.

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.

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.
