The stages of going home for the weekend

Going Home For The Weekend
Body & Mind

You know that point in the semester where you're just over it? Maybe you're trying to escape the reality of your GPA after midterms, or maybe you've been through your first serious heart break. Either way, nothing beats going home for the weekend when you're exhausted, overwhelmed and needing nothing more than hugs from your greatest high school friends.

Here's how it usually goes during the week leading up to going home for the weekend.

Monday

Alright, you got this, five days until you're free. You've got your planner all set up, plans to get all your homework done and extra work done that's due on Monday so you don't have to worry about it while you're visiting with your loved ones. You look cute, you're feeling great, these five days are going to be a breeze.

Tuesday

Okay, you're ready for the longest day of the week. You didn't get as much done yesterday as you planned, but that's okay! Better post a Facebook status about how excited you are to see your friends with exactly how many minutes are left until you're there!

Wednesday

You're on a roll! Laundry is done, all of your Friday assignments are finished, you even think you might have time to have a bit of a social life tomorrow night! But wait! You still have homework due at midnight on Sunday... Will I have time to finish it before I go? OMG I still have to pack...

Thursday

ONE!! MORE!! DAY!!! You have so much to do!!!! Nothing is getting done!! You can't stop procrastinating!!! You have to start getting all the gossip topics ready. Get prepared to hear all the boy drama. Get ready to drink a lot of wine.

Friday

TODAY'S THE DAY!!! Two classes until I'm free!!! I stayed up until 3 am packing and doing homework to go home, but I cant wait to party with my girls tonight! Just a 3 hour drive home!!

Friday Night

Reunited. Lots of love, and lots of drinks.

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.
