Throughout a normal college day, every kid, doesn't matter where they go, will experience some of the same things. Whether it be roommate problems or getting back that test grade, the feelings are the same.

1. Getting ready for bed and remembering the homework you never did.

This could possibly be the worst feeling. After a long day and you finally think that it's your time to be able to relax, you remember your chem lab is due tomorrow at 10 a.m. Your world seems to burst into flames.

2. Waking up for that dreaded 8 a.m.

You think it wont be that bad when you're scheduling, but when your alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m. it actually seems impossible to get up.

3. Calculating your grades and being surprised.

Normally, it's a bad surprise. You think you did pretty well on that test you studied last minute for, but realize that procrastination really is the devil. However, you decided not to hover over it and move on with your day.

4. Going to events where you have no idea what’s going on but it’s worth the extra credit points.

Even though you don't want to learn about the history of the earth or how rocks are made, you force yourself to go because this might be the only thing to save your grade.

5. The casual mental breakdown at least twice a week.

It happens to the best of us. �

6. Deciding to go out even though you have work to do.

It's a Thursday and you almost made it through the week without doing any bad things. But, I mean, it's close to the weekend, so that makes it OK, right?

7. Getting an exam and having no idea where to even begin.

You just stare blankly at the paper and definitely regret not staying the library longer than you did.

8. Waiting in line to get coffee, knowing you’re going to be late, but still continuing to wait.

This has got to be the most frustrating thing. You wake up extra early just to get Dunkin. You wait there for what seems like forever, and you realize you are still going to be late to class. By the time you notice this, it's almost your turn to order. You decide to take the deduction of points for being late and choose to get the coffee instead.

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.
