It's that point in the semester again, the one packed with late nights at the library and copious amounts of caffeine. Only a few exams and papers separate us from a week full of sunshine and relaxation (or for some, Netflix and a cozy couch).

There's no question that midterms suck, especially when you'd rather be daydreaming about spring break. And if there's one person who can understand our pain, it's my boy Schmidty. If he were here right now, I'm sure he'd know exactly how to describe our feelings.

1. When it's the day of your big exam so you give yourself a pep talk

Somebody's got to!

2. When your professor tells you that this is the test most students do the worst on

Thank you, that was exactly what I needed to hear.

3. When you and your friends have a pizza night because "calories don't count when you're studying"

I'm pretty sure it's a scientifically proven fact.

4. When that really annoying kid in class asks how you thought the exam went

They never have to know you almost cried five times during it.

5. When you take a Netflix break from studying and somehow wind up four episodes deep into "New Girl"

Started from the bottom now we here!

6. When you studied your butt off only to find out you didn't get the grade you wanted on your exam

Life can be so cruel.

7. When your parents ask you how your week is going and you're just like:

My life is falling apart, but I'm fine!

8. When your professor puts questions on the exam that he specifically said he wouldn't ask

This was only supposed to happen in my nightmares.

9. When you have that one person in your class who's a genius and messes up the curve for everyone

We hate you but also secretly want to be you.

10. When someone sits in your favorite spot on exam day

Excuse me, but who do you think you are?!

11. When people ask you how long you've been studying

I really stopped keeping track a few hours ago.

12. When you walk into office hours and are just like:

Please tell me if I even have the slightest idea of what's going on.

13. When your professor decides to cancel class the day before spring break

A true miracle.

14. When your professor decides not to cancel class the day before spring break

Thanks for thinking of me during this difficult time.

15. When you finally made it to the end of the week and feel like you deserve a gold medal or something

Always, Schmit. Always.

16. And when all else fails, just remember:

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
