The Olympic Events give countries a chance to come together and watch the world’s greatest athletes compete in several sports. And if you're American, the Olympic Events are usually a reminder that other sports exist outside of baseball, basketball, and football.

But you might not have time to watch this year's Olympic Winter Games, especially if you’re a college student. Don’t worry, however! Your everyday activities are just as impressive as an Olympic Event. Or so you tell yourself.

1. Eating an entire pizza by yourself.


OK, so this technically counts as competitive eating. But your only competition is your body’s desire to stop eating. Remember, any pizza is a personal pizza if you’re brave enough.


2. Summoning the willpower to do laundry.

College laundry rooms are often the busiest yet awkward places on campuses. Even if you manage to find one with free washers and dryers, there’s always the chance that your hamper or bag might break and spill your clothes all over the floor. May the gods of detergent smile upon you.


3. Waking up late and subsequently rushing to class.

You've slept through your alarm. Or maybe you forgot to set an alarm in the first place. Either way, your class starts in five minutes and you haven't even gotten out of bed yet.


4. FaceTiming, Skyping, or just talking with your parents while hungover.

I am not condoning underage drinking, nor am I suggesting that it's just a part of college life. But let's not kid ourselves. If you've to recover from a wild night, catching up with your parents probably isn't one of your priorities. And if you know your parents wouldn't approve of the wild night you just had, you'll probably have to act normally. But all the coffee in the world won't help you explain to them why you’re wearing sunglasses indoors.


5. Writing a satirical clickbait article.

Do you think this is easy? Well it is, as long as you can live with selling your soul for those sweet, sweet views.

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.
