There comes a day where every college student realizes they must pull an all-nighter to finish their homework. Sometimes we do it to ourselves through watching Netflix, staying out with friends, cleaning our room, or just to avoid having to do homework. Occasionally, some of us have had an intensely busy week and are forced to cram all of our studies into one night. Michael Scott has embodied the average college student in more ways than one, and now he can explain the different stages of having to pull an all-nighter. No matter how we got into this sticky situation, it is here and we now will go through the seven stages of pulling an all-nighter:

1. Disbelief

There is no way that I have multiple assignments, an online quiz, and readings due the next day. Is it already Sunday?

2. Denial

Well, there is nothing to stress about because there is no way you are going to stay up all night for homework. It will all be good eventually...

3. Bargaining

Maybe if I just finish one assignment the rest can be late... after all, it is only 10 percent a day.

4. Guilt

This cannot keep happening. Where did I go wrong? I know I avoid my homework, but how did I let it ever get this bad?

5. Anger

This is just not happening! I need a full 8 hours of beauty sleep, which this homework cannot be in my life right now.

6. Depression

This is my life now. I completely deserve every consequence, as I am the maker of my own disaster. Maybe I will make it to see the light of day, or maybe I will fall asleep on my laptop and burn my face. Either way, I put myself here.

7. Acceptance

This is the worst possible scenario to be in at the moment. However it is my own doing, and there is no one to blame but myself. No matter how many cups of coffee it takes to get me through the entire night, it will get done. Once the acceptance stage has set in, I can fully work on what I am supposed to without distractions, other than late night snacking of course.

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.
