Christmas Break As Told By Elf

Nothing can beat spending the holidays at home with your family, and your dog (of course). For some people, this is the most wonderful time of the year. However, for others, the holidays can be stressful. All I know is, being indoors with my favorite people and not having to brave the BG winds on my way to class has been nice. Here is how break actually goes as told by Elf:

1. When someone makes homemade food.

Because let's be real, eating Marcos and having Jamba gets old sometimes.

2. Your reaction to relatives asking about college.

I'll let you know how college was after graduation, don't worry.

3. How it feels to make plans with old friends.

Even though you love them, sometimes it's just too much.

4. When the distant family makes comments about your height.

We get it, I'm five feet tall. I've been this way for seven years now.

5. Seeing people you used to be friends with.

The gif says it all.

6. When your favorite food isn't at Christmas this year.

All I wanted were some good mashed potatoes, I hope that's not too hard.

7. Missing your roommates and wanting to be able to talk to them all the time.

Let's face it, I miss my buddies like crazy.

8. Seeing half of the presents under the tree marked "from: Santa".

Come on mom, those have been there for a couple weeks, there's no way Santa brought those.

9. But still acting surprised on Christmas morning so your dog still believes in Santa.

He needs to believe in order for him to not expect extra treats the rest of the year.

10. Showing up to family gatherings and seeing your crazy family members.

Not that I particularly wanted to see you this holiday season, but hello to you too.

11. How I'll look when I finally get to see my Big again.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
