An Open Letter To The Person With A Busy Week

Do you ever feel so stressed because of the week you are about to have? It's Sunday night and all you can think about it how you have three papers due Thursday, work both jobs every day, a presentation that is worth half your grade on Friday, a staff meeting on Saturday, and a pile of laundry as tall as the chair you keep it on.

If that is you, I have some advice on how to make it through your hell week.

1. First, remember to take one day at a time.

This is something my mom and grandparents have always told me. There is no need to get yourself worked up about the entire week, prepare for one day at a time.

2. If you need to, set an alarm to remember to eat.

A headache, stomach pain, and mood will not help you at all when you don't eat, fit it into your day!

3. Make a daily list of "to-dos".

This will help you keep things straight and be able to prioritize. Also, you will get the satisfaction of checking things off your list!

4. Be sure to carry around a water bottle.

Keeping hydrated throughout the day will help with brain activity and hunger if you have little time for a meal.

5. Right before you go to bed, make sure your bag is packed for the next day with everything you will need

Also, wash your face, drink a glass of water, and go straight to bed. This will keep your body and mind fresh while also helping you sleep.

6. While traveling to your other job, to school, or back home, call your mom, grandma, or brother.

Fit in some chat time to stay socially involved, while also still going through the motions of your day.

Remember to take a day for yourself after your long busy week to recuperate and relax. After all, trust me, you deserve it!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
