Time is Just A Construct?

It's only been a few days over a month since winter break when my sister and I drove out of the driveway and waved goodbye to our parents for a while. We were smiling with really watery eyes they couldn't see through the window tint until we drove out of sight and I could bawl my eyes out while I told my sister, "You can't cry, sorry, you're driving". It seems it gets harder to leave home every time I come back, somehow. And it's that time of the semester where I feel a pull in my heart towards home.

Miss u, xoxo

The need to go home hasn't been quenched yet, sad to say. We're all too busy. One weekend there's an exam the next Monday that I really can't afford to not spend all day and night on the third floor of Marston studying for, and the next there's a retreat with an organization I just joined and it would look just terrible to miss it for a weekend trip home. This weekend is a no, next weekend is an open house at my house, which means my parents will be acting as realtors to sell their beautiful home to a beautiful new family, hopefully, and therefore I wouldn't be able to stay at home anyway. So for now, it's been phone calls and butt dials from my mom in the morning that I appreciate and texts that say "miss u, love you, hugs to all".

Home is Where the HEART is, ya heard

Yeah, I heard. And my heart is split between this crazy beautiful school and my crazy beautiful hometown filled with some of my crazy beautiful family members and my crazy handsome dog. So until spring break, about a month away, I'll be here, in one half of my heart, waiting until the other half gets a turn at the wheel. And until then, it'll be a lot of "miss u, xoxo's".

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. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
