Christmas time is approaching and everyone is preparing their Christmas lists, trying to figure out what they want to get as well as what they want to give. As a college student, I have noticed how my Christmas lists have been evolving as I grow older. I no longer scramble through Toys R Us booklets trying to figure out what toys I want. Instead, I find myself wanting things that'd make my college life a tiny bit easier.

Here are 7 things that make up the Christmas list for a college student:

1. Unlimited Flex

Here at UNCG, we have something called Flex, which is just money we get to use at food places such as Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, etc., instead of eating in the cafeteria.

2. The ability to control the temperature in your dorm hall

Sometimes its too cold, sometimes it's too hot, and there is rarefy an in-between. .

3. A magical coffee cup that refills itself with your favorite coffee

Save money, and satisfy your need for coffee.

4. More hours in the day

This would give everyone the opportunity to study more, sleep more, eat more, or whatever else you desire!

5. Pets

Changing the no pets policy (other than fish) doesn't sound like a bad idea. Bring your furry or scaly friends from home!

6. Money

Of course money would be an addition to the ideal Christmas list. Although money isn't everything, being able to pay the tuition would be great.

7. The ability to actually get work done without staying up late.

In college, getting as much sleep as you can is important, but sometimes that just doesn't happen

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.

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.
