Walking home alone is never a big deal during the day. You see your surroundings, birds are chirping, and all is good. Walking home alone at night is a different story. This is when all the creeps come out and we fear for our safety simply because we are a woman and alone.

No matter how brave of a woman you are, there are always a few thoughts that run through our minds while we're wandering alone.

1. Relax, it's just a little dark out

Ok, you're just being paranoid. Just because it's dark doesn't mean that something bad is going to happen. You walk this path all the time, you're fine. Relax.

2. Could someone steal me right now?

Like what if I'm just walking, minding my own business, and then bam, someone jumps out of this bush up ahead and grabs me. I wonder if I could fight back. I could probably get away, I'm feisty. OMG, what if someone is really in that bush...?

3. OMG WHAT WAS THAT NOISE

There is a serial killer near me I know there is! I heard a noise behind me, but I can't look back or they'll know that I know they're there and grab me. What was that noise!!! Oh, it was a cat...totally knew that.

4. You know what, I DARE someone

Do you really wanna mess with me right now?! Come at me I dare you! You ain't gunna do sh*t! *Hears the wind rustle a tree* I was totally kidding please go away please go away.

5. Yay I made it home

Go me! Walked home the whole way by myself and nothing bad happened. This is no big deal, I rock. Why was I freaking out about this? Hahaha. Wait, what if someone is waiting for me inside?...

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
