The Best Weekend: Mom's Weekend

Let me start out by saying I love my mother. She is my number one, and my mentor. She taught me everything I know. She thinks I'm an angel (because I am) that frequents the library, keeps his face in the books, and generally sacrifices a whole lot of time for the sake of education. While I do go to the library, sometimes, and I do hit the books hard, how on earth do you warn your mom about what's about to happen later that evening?

The first time I had my mother over to the house, I was terrified. I cleaned, I disinfected, I did literally everything I could to ensure that my mom did not think that I was a degenerate living in a pile of empty beer cans, stale food and dirty underwear. Oh, I was nervous, alright -- not to introduce her to my friends, but to introduce her to what we had planned for that night. Consisting primarily of wine and more wine, it really unnerved my mom's initial impression. However, when introduced to other moms around the party, the night was quickly saved. The day afterwards, my mother told me that she was nervous at first but when she made some friends it was just like the old days for her. Mother's weekend is a great way for moms to unwind for a weekend.

Having sorority mothers over is quoted by Akon as "the dopest weekend ever because they bring really nice booze and it's hilarious seeing a bunch of drunk moms running around." What starts out as innocent small talk, quickly snowballs into a much more lively scene. Once the liquid courage starts to build up, mothers hit the dance floor like they have never done before. Friendships form in a matter of seconds simply because you made a stupid joke about your friend to her mom. The best part about those friendships is that not only will the mom maybe hook you up with some really nice booze, but you also might have the opportunity to rub in your friends face that "your mom is in love with me."

Eventually the mothers get tuckered out. Even coming into the party with the, "I have to be able to hang out with my son's/daughter's friends, I'm not old yet" mentality, all moms hit their limit. Rides are called and hugs are given at the door. Moms make friends with their kid's friends and everyone is happy.

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.
