It's hard to believe that we only really have a month left in this semester. If you need to, start going to your professors now begging for mercy, but do not give up totally, cause your grade is not set in stone yet. If you are stressed and worried, just now that there is some comfort in the fact that it is almost done. Summer is literally right around the corner. Here are some things to remember for finals:

1. Take a look at your homework for the rest of the semester

Start getting ahead on it now, so you won't be stressed when trying to study for final exams.

2. If your final is a paper or project, get started now

Seriously, finals projects/papers take a lot of time, and they are a lot of the final grade. If you wait until the night before, it will not turn out well.

3. Look at your syllabus

It will typically say whether or not a final exam is cumulative or not. This is important to know because you need to know what to study.

4. Start studying now

Study a little bit every day. Overloading yourself with information right before the final will not work. No matter how many times you tell yourself it will, it never will. Ever.

5. Keep going to class

Seriously, some important information and most of what is going to be included on the final will be talked about during the last month of classes. It will only benefit you to keep going.

6. Don't give up

There's still time, and if you just pack up and accept a grade, it is just accepting defeat.

The warmer it gets, typically the more carefree everyone gets. I can assure you, you will make it to the summer. Just power through this last month of classes. Do whatever it takes to get you through, and continue to try in your 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.

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?
