The break that we all look forward to when the drag of second semester hits: spring break. It can be a huge party or a huge letdown. However, there are about 5 categories that the average college students' spring break trip fits into. Which one best describes how you spent your break?

1. The iconic college trip

When students really cut loose and drink from 7 am to 6 am the next morning. This usually results in many wild stories and very questionable (and flashy) social media posts.



    2. The family getaway

    When students tag onto whatever their parents are doing for that week. Whether that be going to grandmas or spending the break at a resort, you’re just glad you have someone else paying for your meals.



    3. The true school spirit

    When a student chooses (or unwillingly) has to stay on campus for spring break. This calls for many nights of staying in or trying to recruit some friends of a friend to go out. Constantly reminded of the school being just a hop and a skip away, you’re constantly messaging your friends to come back.



    4. The “No days off”

    For those students who hate doing nothing for a week so they stockpile it up with endless shifts at their hometown job. This student would really rather make money then spend it.



    5. The laziest week of your life

    Those students that literally need a week to do nothing. "Wake up, Netflix, eat, sleep and repeat" is their motto. You get endless naps, food, and don’t have to worry about a beach bod—what more could you ask for?




    No matter which type of spring break trip you took, somehow, you still know exactly how many more days (or exact hours) you have until you have to get back to school and start drowning in work yet again.

    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?

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.
