Back To School After Winter Break As Told By Michael Scott

Winter break really was great while it lasted. You spent time with your family at Christmas. You welcomed in another new year with your closet friends. You spent many hours curled up by a warm fire watching Netflix. Now, it's all over. School is starting back. Michael Scott is the best person to tell you what it's like to get back into the routine of things after winter break.

1. First things first, you have to unpack.

Everyone knows this is the hardest part of winter break being over. You've traveled back to college, but you can't even rest. You have to unpack a suitcase that is full of clothes that lasted you for three weeks. You will feel like you're slowly dying inside.

2. Next, you have to memorize your class schedule for the upcoming semester.

You had how much time it took to get from class to class mapped out perfectly last semester. You knew if you left your apartment at 10:52 a.m. that you would make it to class by 11:10 a.m. Well, it's over and you have to memorize and plan getting to class on time all over again.

3. Besides getting ready for classes, you have to go back to work.

Another day another dollar, I guess. You still just want to stay in bed all day watching Netflix, though.

4. After preparing for classes, the first full day of school has arrived.

You're not physically or emotionally ready for this.

5. And you'll probably have that one professor that gives you an assignment on syllabus day.

WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?????

6. Within the first week, you have eight chapters to read, two quizzes, and a paper to write.

You'll probably cry, and that's totally OK.

7. But, the weekend will finally arrive, and you'll get to see your friends that you missed over break.

After quality time with your BFFs, you'll be glad school has started back.


So while getting back to the routine of things is hard at first, deep down inside you know that you missed going to class and seeing your friends. Here's to another great semester!

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 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?
