Finals are finally over and it's summer time! While there is nothing better than having no school for three months, the transition from complete freedom to being back under the rule of your parents is a hard one. Coming back home is a bitter-sweet experience and these thoughts are just a few that I had returning back home.

1. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed

The first thing I did when I got home was take a nap in my bed. While my bed at school was pretty comfortable, there is nothing like your own bed at home.

2. I wonder how much of my stuff my siblings stole.

After I took the wonderful nap, I immediatley went through my siblings rooms (mainly my sisters) and made sure that none of my stuff magically found itself in their rooms.

3. Having my own room again is amazing

I loved my roommates so much but having my own space again is the best thing. Now whenever I need to be alone, I don't have to sit in the corner of the third-floor of the library, I can just go to my room.

4. Real food!

This needs no explanation. There is nothing like food that hasn't been sitting under a heater for hours.

5. Wait, why do I need a curfew

This was first thing that made me realize that I am definitely not at college anymore.

6. Okay, I'm bored

I love being home, but there is not much to do. At school, I'm used to having something to do all the time. The first couple of days at home, having nothing to do was amazing but now I'm already bored.

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.

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.
