This Cold Makes Me Want To Get Cozy, Not Study

Especially when it's raining.

Yesterday, it rained. And I had class to go too.

This wasn't any normal rain, though. This was cold-front cold. And it was POURING. Like raining so hard you can't see anything.

But, anything for the GPA, right?

I put on my poncho that made me look like a trash bag, grabbed snacks, my laptop, and about ALL my homework (just in case I got stranded in somewhere), and headed to class.

I didn't even try to run. It was pointless.

I walked across campus in the rain, getting my shoes soaked, telling myself that I should've just skipped, and made it to class.

Of course, it was fifty degrees in the classroom. I almost died, I swear.

I did this another time to get to my last class of the day, and then made my way back to the dorm.

I lived, took a hot shower, changed into Halloween pajama pants, and got all nice and cozy in bed. I opened my laptop, excited to relax, and then remembered.

I had a paper due on Thursday.

And about ten books to read.

It completely killed my mood!

I sucked it up and worked for about four hours, and then finally watched a spooky movie, and then went to bed.

And then, this morning, I woke up. And it was still cold.

Which made getting out of bed really hard.

Do you see how the cold is hampering my productivity?

It's hard to stay focused, and it's not even THAT cold outside!

Sure, if it was hot out, I would be suffering too, but at least I would have zero desire to crawl into bed.

It's only going to get colder, and school is only going to get harder.

Pray for me, you guys.

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.
