Some of us just don't know what we're doing. We're kind of winging it. That's okay. Maybe that's what college is here for.

We can't properly express our feelings at all times.

Gave me cookie, got you cookie, man. Sometimes feelings are hard, and that's also okay.

He has no idea how to handle awkward situations.

Unless it's by moonwalking away, of course.

He has a hidden intelligence.

Like when he had to file a bunch of lawyer paperwork for his girlfriend on Valentine's Day after convincing her assistant to quit. Sometimes our brain comes in clutch when we need it.

We've loved someone that wasn't good for us.

Caroline, we're looking straight at you. Remember you deserve more than someone who only wants to know they can have you.

We questioned dating a best friend.

Then some of us did, and some of us didn't. Either way, we've all been in those shoes.

Remember when Cece got engaged at Schmidt and Nick's tinfinity party? And even though they were fighting, Nick still ran after him? That's the kind of friendship we all need.

When Winston tells Nick he never finishes anything, he then finishes his zombie novel. Maybe sometimes all we ever need is the harsh truth from friends to get us moving again. (Let this be a reminder to write the essay you've been avoiding. Like, after this article.)

Lastly, he's himself.

The best part? He's not (entirely) ashamed. And you should be fully unashamed.

Be fully you, every day.

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.

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.
