College As Described By Ron Swanson

Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.

First of all, I'd just like to say that if you don't know who Ron Swanson is, I recommend that you binge watch "Parks and Rec" on Netflix immediately. I legitimately do not care if you stop reading this post after this sentence because "Parks and Rec" is more important than anything I could ever tell you.

Second, if you've made it this far, I would just like to congratulate you on your superb life choice to watch "Parks and Rec." I don't need to explain Ron Swanson to you.

Third of all, if you ignored my first warning and made it all the way down here but have never watched "Parks and Rec," I guess I should inform you about who Ron Swanson is. Ron Swanson is basically one of the greatest characters alive. That's all you need to know.

When you procrastinate everything and leave it to the last moment

Morning classes

When there's less than a month left in the semester/year

When you see a puppy or any huggable animal on campus

When you decide to avoid all responsibilities

"Class is canceled."

"There will be a curve."

When your parents finally come to visit and you get to eat something other than the campus food.

That one kid in your class who reminds the professor to pass around the attendance sheet or that he or she hasn't assigned homework

When your teacher assigns homework to do during break

When someone takes your officially unassigned assigned seat

When you oversleep and attendance is part of your overall grade

When there's a word minimum on a paper

Almost every college party

Math class

When your friends ask you if you want to go out for food, but you have no money

Hangovers when you still live in a dorm

When you get stressed in public and want to cry but also don't want to be seen crying in public

When your teacher assigns a group project, but you have no friends in the class

When the school Wi-Fi sucks

When you decide to get your shit together (and fail, yet again)

Last day of the semester

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. 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.
