6 Reasons to Go Home for Spring Break

Who wouldn't want to go to the gulf coast somewhere in 60 degree weather where you can be drunk from 9am- 11pm, eat nothing but goldfish for three meals a day, and be surrounded by twenty females for five days straight?! The answer is this girl right here. When deciding on where I wanted my Spring Break destination to be this year, I quickly found myself weighing my options; and this is how I decided on Sweet Home California.

  1. Nights with over 10 hours of sleep
    Most students rarely get a full night of sleep due to homework, Netflix, sorority activities, social activities, the distractions of living with roommates, and did I mention Netflix?
  2. My own comfortable bed
    As much as you love your bed at school with it's extra thick foam topper, there is nothing like your bed at home. Sorry it's just not possible.
  3. Home cooked meals
    Every college student that lives on campus has to agree with this one because the BLUU is simply nowhere, nor will it ever be, as good as your mom's cooking.For the students who live off campus, I know you think you are a great cook. But you're not, you are simply better than the BLUU, and you will quickly realize that when you return home.
  4. NO DRAMA ZONE
    If being surrounded by twenty of your pledge sisters for five days straight actually sounds like a good time to you, then you clearly have never done it before.As much as you think you love your sisters, you quickly realize that when you are hung over and they are dancing on the table singing “Timber" for the seventh time this hour, you actually will hate them. But hey, you asked for it right?
  5. Spring Break Bod
    …..hahaha what is that? TCU's Christmas break and Spring break are way too close for anyone to completely work off those excessive peppermint bark brownies that your chef cousin made for every family party you attended between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
  6. Shopping with Mom
    Your mom all of a sudden is about fourteen times more willing to buy you clothes if it means she gets to spend time with you.It's a fact. Take advantage of this!

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.
