10 Adorable Cats to Motivate You During Finals Season

timedotcom.files.wordpress.com

As someone who has been away from my cats for the entire college semester, I am constantly scrolling through Instagram accounts of cats or asking my friends to show me pictures of their own. There's something about seeing a cat, whether they're taking a nap or running around, that comforts me when I feel overwhelmed by academia.

Now that finals season has officially begun, I am in dire need of motivation to actually start actually studying and not burn-out after fifteen minutes of aimlessly looking at a series of flashcards. Seeing some cute pictures of my favorite animal encourages me to keep working, because if I finish this semester off strong, I can make my own cats proud (even though they don't necessarily know what I'm doing or where I am whatsoever).

Plus, looking at cats seems like the most productive study break I can think of.

1. The Hard Worker

This cat is trying to help in the best way they can.

2. The Health Nut

Get yourself a healthy snack to fuel your studying.

3. The Studious Fellow

They just want to be educated about our world.

4. The Sleepy Baby

Make sure you're getting enough sleep during this stressful time.

5. The Self-Care Guru

Take some time to pamper yourself and check on your physical and emotional needs.

6. The Squad

Don't forget to stay updated on your friends, because you will regret not hanging out with them once you all are separated during winter break.

7. The Procrastinator

Try to get all those papers in, especially if the deadline was two weeks ago.

8. The Fashionista

It's okay to wear sweatpants everyday during this time, no one is judging you.

9. The Felines of Fitness

Stretch your legs and unclench your jaw.

10. The Party Animal

Celebrate your accomplishments once it's all over!

I believe in you, but more importantly, these cats believe in you. Go kill those finals!

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"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. 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.
