This past week, I finally made a decision about what I want to study in college: psychology. I have been pretty positive that I wanted to major in psychology for a while, but I kept putting off declaring my major because that means I actually have to commit to something. I can barely decide what I want to eat, how am I going to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life. I went through all the feels while filling out the paperwork to declare my major, and I thought the Kardashians could perfectly describe how I felt.

1. I will never have to answer "I'm not sure what my major is yet" at family parties again

Every holiday this past year, I always got the question "So, what are you studying in college?" I dreaded this question because I always had to answer, "Oh, I'm not sure yet" and would without fail get the response, "Oh...That's ok! You have plenty of time" Now I can finally show my family that I kinda know what I'm doing.

2. Will this major lead me to a good job?

That's the main thing on almost everyone's mind when deciding what to study in college. Will I get a job with a salary I can live off of, but also enjoy what I'm doing.

3. If my parents ask if I'm positive about my decision one more time, I'm going to scream

When I finally decided to declare my major, there were many phone calls between my parents and I asking if I was sure that it was what I wanted to do. They were being so supportive, but also making me question everything I was doing.

4. Should I just go into business?

^^^me in any math class. So, I decided business probably wasn't for me.

5. I finally have an idea of what I'm doing with my life

I now know what classes I should be taking, what summer jobs I should be looking for, and what connections I need to start making. Having a little idea of what you want to do with the rest of your life takes a lot of weight off your shoulders. I no longer feel like a lost puppy, especially when choosing classes.

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.

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.

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.
