5 Things That Are Doing Better Than My Academic Life

When I got to my Philosophy 104 class on Thursday I realized I had not completed the assignment that was due before class time. I sat there and did it anyway, and all I could think was, “Hm, maybe if I didn’t spend my time watching ‘How to Open a Bottle With a Cucumber’ online I could have completed this assignment on time.” Then I forgot about my math homework due the next day.. and THEN I remembered my upcoming psychology exam which i am not at all prepared for! Does my academic life suck right now? It sure does! What things are in better shape than my grades? SO many things:

1. Ross and Rachel’s relationship after they were on a break

Ross screaming “WE WERE ON A BREAK” is the equivalent to me screaming “YOU HAVE TO RAISE MY GRADE” at my professors. I applaud Rachel for writing 18 pages of that letter because most of the time I struggle to write 18 words for an essay, so she was in much better shape than I am. Ross and Rachel yelling at each other is basically what goes on in my head during class.

2. Donald Trump’s campaign

You know you’ve hit rock bottom when Donald Trump has a better chance at becoming the President than you have at passing all your classes (and lets face it, this guy should really have no chance at winning). Maybe if I were to build a wall around myself I could keep out all of my quizzes and exams. It’s also sad when you realize how similar Trump’s speeches are to your essays when you don’t know what you’re talking about but you have to reach a word count. (Friendly reminder NOT to vote for Trump on Tuesday, unless you want me to fail all my classes!)

3. Vine

Vine was doing so well for so long. It was at the top of the world, spreading joy and humor to all, and now it is shutting down; kind of like my brain. Vine seems to be more popular than ever now that it is shutting down, so it is still prevailing in its last moments. I have not even reached my last moments yet and I am pretty ready to just give up. RIP Vine.

4. All of the teenagers in Friday the 13th

Getting chased and killed by Jason Voorhees seems so appealing whenever I think about my grades. I can’t run away from my homework and exams but those teenagers can run away from Jason. At least they have a chance, you know? AND they get to party and have a fun weekend before they get killed. Before I die I’ll probably be in the middle of a final exam, and they’ll probably still fail me.

5. This woman who discovered her husband was her dad


I mean, just look at her. She still has a smile on her face. She doesn’t even care. She’s fine.

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
