Sunday Funday or laziest day in the world?

Lies We Tell Ourselves Every Sunday

Ah, Sunday. We all love Sundays. They mean sleeping in, eating brunch, and laying in front of the TV all day long. The thing is, Sunday is a dirty, rotten liar. It lulls us into a false sense of security that leaves us blissfully ignorant of anything besides being comfy and being lazy. We always tend to forget one important thing about Sundays; the horror that is Monday awaits us. As a result, Sunday is typically spent in a weird limbo between wanting to be productive and failing miserably. The following are some of the things we all say we're going to do, end up not accomplishing. Whoops.

Lie: I'm going to get up early in order to be super productive!

Yeah, I'll totally get up at like 8 a.m. to be one of those people that gets crap done.

Reality: Getting out of bed before 10:00 a.m. is a no-go.

Lol, no I'm not.

Lie: I'm definitely going to make myself breakfast, instead of going to get brunch.

I'll save some money and be ~domestic~.

Reality: Making my own food sucks, I'm gonna just go to brunch.

Brunch over everythang.

Lie: I'm going to get off of my couch and do something with my life, like workout.

Maybe I'll turn into one of those people who actually upholds their New Year's resolution a month later!

Reality: Who am I kidding, I'm not going to the gym.

That's far too much effort than I want to put into anything in my life, especially on Sunday.

Lie: I'm definitely going to get my homework done.

And I'm for sure gonna start it at like, noon.

Reality: Definitely going to watch Netflix all day.

Finally made a lame attempt to start it at 9, gave up by 9:30.

Lie: I'm definitely prepared for Monday morning.

I'm gonna have a great week and be super prepared for everything!

Reality: No one is ever prepared for the horror that is Monday morning.

Getting into bed and ugly crying, because I'm so unprepared for life.

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.
