College Life, As Told By Lorelai Gilmore
Christina Amato

Lorelai Gilmore is one of the funniest moms of all time. Through all 7 seasons of "Gilmore Girls," the fiercely independent mother of Rory has managed to crack us up with her babbling, her encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture, and relatability to college students, even as a 35-year-old.

1. When you feel like there isn't enough coffee to keep you awake for classes

Believe me, we have all had this thought at some point!

2. When you have no idea what to write for your paper, have $67 in your bank account, and are wondering if you should keep your major

Maybe not entirely helpless.

3. When you're confident with your studies

I carry the intelligence.

4. Waking up early, especially on a weekend is not on your calendar

Who needs to get up early on a weekend when we have already dealt with club meetings, memorizations, and 203 pages of reading a week?

5. When your schedule is so stinking full

Is the jungle green?

6. When you feel like dieting doesn't exist

The dining hall should earn an award for the freshman 15 and senior 16.

7. Packing to go home or back to school like . . .

Come on, this is has happened to you every time you pack to go home or go back to campus.

8. Trying to convince your friends that you don't need to date someone from your class like . . .

Same, Lorelai, same.

9. When the weekend has gone too fast

Every . . . single . . . Sunday!

10. When you don't want to deal with your problems

Can I just not let problems bring me down and think about unicorns and rainbows?

11. When you're just out of it

The tickets to Escape-From-Reality Land.

12. Trying to get through a bad date like . . .

Sounds like a plan.

13. When you're sick of hearing the same story over and over

Looks like it's going to be one of my Gilmore Girls catchphrases.

14. When you pass all of your classes

Every single end of the semester.

15. Trying to prove you're capable of staying in college

Not a little kid anymore. I just gotta study, slip my Uggs on, and show everyone what kind of person I am.

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.
