My face has a mind of its own.

How I’m feeling is always written all over my face and I know I’m not the only one. It can be the ultimate struggle, at times. If you too have an over-expressive face, then you know exactly what I’m talking about when I say…

1. Your eyebrows practically have a mind of their own

They're almost permanently raised up leading you to seriously worry about forehead wrinkles.

2. There's no hiding when you're disgusted

Please keep chewing with your mouth open or licking the food off of your fingers or making those loud chewing sounds, I just love it.

3. Everyone knows when you're annoyed

Keep interrupting me, it's my favorite thing. I love it. LOVE IT.

4. Opening gifts in front of others is one of your biggest struggles

I really love the 15th bottle of lotion you've purchased for me this year. It's great. Just what I needed.

5. There's no hiding when you're bored out of your mind

You'd rather be anywhere else or doing anything else and we all know it.

6. When someone says something ignorant or offensive and you sit there like:

You're already struggling to bite back your tongue but you're not responsible for the look you're giving them.

7. When someone asks for your opinion and you don't even have to speak for them to know exactly how you're feeling

"Do you like my new shoes?" Yeah...they're great.

8. Your facial expressions have definitely gotten you in trouble

Chances are you've heard the phrases "Did you have something to add?" or "You have five seconds to fix your face" more times than you can count.

9. Trying not to react when you see someone do something embarrassing is the ultimate struggle

10. People oftentimes think you're judging them

My eyes are just naturally this wide, I promise.

11. You're constantly being asked what's wrong

12. Because how you're feeling is written all over your face and there's nothing you can do about it.

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.
